Dozens of law enforcement helicopters converged on the Rose Bowl Stadium on Wednesday for an emergency preparedness fly-in training exercise.
The exercise, which was hosted by the Pasadena Police Department, involved helicopters from agencies as far away as San Diego, Ventura, and Riverside.
The Rose Bowl is designated as a staging area for a large disaster or mass casualty situation. Coordinated landing and takeoff procedures were a key component of the annual disaster response exercise and fly-in.
