About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — A NASA helicopter from Patrick Air Force Base is about to land on S.R. 3. It is one of four UH-1H helicopters that will have its blades painted, changing the black to a pattern of white and yellow stripes. The pattern provides better visibility in smoke and fire conditions. When the rotors are turning, the stripes create a yellow and white circle that is more easily seen by a second helicopter from above.
