KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- At S.R. 3 a pilot prepares a NASA helicopter for a return flight to Patrick Air Force Base. The helicopter is one of four UH-1H helicopters that have had its blades painted, changing the previous black color 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. The helicopters, primarily used for security and medical evacuation for NASA, will be used to deliver water via buckets during brush fires. The change was made to comply with U.S. Fish and Wildlife and Department of Forestry regulations for helicopter-assisted fire control
