Rescue swimmers from Coast Guard Aviation Training Center Mobile demonstrate the proper procedure for entering a rescue basket to 11 year old Luke Wiedeman (left) and younger brother, Colin Wiedeman , Nov. 7, 2011.

Crewmembers from ATC Mobile worked with the Mobile chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help Luke realize his dream of becoming a Coast Guard rescue swimmer.

Luke was able to take part in training with the swimmers, navigate high-tech flight simulators and participate in a search-and-rescue demonstration.
