Video: ROTC cadets surprised by Blackhawk helicopter ride

Two Blackhawk helicopters from the Wisconsin Army National Guard landed a little before noon on Friday at the recreational fields just north of UW Hospital and Clinics.

The large, four-bladed “birds” picked up about 20 Air Force ROTC cadets from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and flew them to Volk Field Air National Guard Base, which is located at Camp Douglas, Wis., some 85 miles northwest of campus.
