The Pelican Squadron of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), in Campo Grande (Mato Grosso state), used night vision goggles (NVG) for the first time in a real rescue mission. The use of the equipment played a decisive role in the health of 59-year-old Nicéia Gomes, who suffered a pelvic fracture on July 27, and had to be urgently transferred to a hospital at night.
