Washington airman receives award after carrying injured 79-year-old hiker down trail
A Washington-based Airman received an award for rescuing a woman who had a hiking accident in late August, the U.S. Air Force announced.
Airman 1st Class Troy May made the rescue on Aug. 28 near Ashford, Washington, while hiking to High Rock Lookout. He received an achievement medal on Sept. 9.
“One of the Air Force’s core values is service before self, and Airman 1st Class May clearly exemplified that core value with his actions,” Lt. Col. Joshua Clifford, 62d AMXS commander, said in the news release. “While our team of Airmen showcase amazing accomplishments every day, we relish the opportunity to focus on one Airman’s courage and recognize them for truly living the Air Force’s core values.”
The woman he rescued, 79-year-old Ursula Bannister, takes a trip every year to High Rock Lookout and this year, she went to spread her late mother’s ashes.
“I know the trail very well, and there are always many people there,” Bannister said in the news release. “When I couldn’t find anyone to accompany me on this outing, I just went by myself.”
She had finished lunch and had begun hiking down when she felt her leg give out, according to the Air Force. She stepped into a hole, causing a shock to travel up her body.
She called for help, and that’s when some hikers found her. As hikers called emergency responders and tried to help her as best as they could, then came May and his friend.
“My first thought was if I could carry her down, I should carry her down and get her there as quickly as I can,” May said in the news release.
Injured hiker was in a lot of pain as Airman carried her to safety
Donning cowboy boots, May put Bannister on his back and started to carry her down the trail. The boots made carrying her down the trail very painful though as gravity pulled her off of him, the Air Force said. He had to use his legs to stop at some points.
He carried her most of 1.6 miles down the hiking trail. His friend, Layton Allen, also carried Bannister some of the way.
“Once we got down, we loaded her into her car, elevated her foot and started driving to the hospital,” May said. “We met search and rescue about 30 minutes down the road, put ice on her foot, drove the rest of the way to the hospital and waited for her son to get there.”
A few days later, Bannister called May and Allen to thank them for helping her. She had surgery and was recovering, she told them.
“I truly felt that these two guys were meant to be there to save me, and that sort of swam in my subconscious at the time,” Bannister said in the news release. “I considered them my angels.”

Police arrested a man suspected of taking a Bethesda, Maryland, couple for $400,000 in a gold bar scam.
A text message reading “Contact us about an unauthorized charge on your Apple account” led the couple down a scam rabbit hole, police said. They were led to believe they were talking by phone to real Apple employees and eventually, according to police, they spoke with 23-year-old Yongxian Huang, who allegedly pretended to be an employee of the Federal Trade Commission.
The couple was told their money had been compromised by criminals and needed to be converted to gold and put into government safekeeping to keep it from being used to make child pornography and purchase missiles for Russia, police said.
They were convinced to give two purchases of gold bars worth more than $367,000, as well as a wire transfer of more than $41,000, investigators said.
“If you get these messages, you are not required to answer the phone,” Montgomery County Police Detective Sean Petty said. “You aren’t required to click that message and give your information away.”
With the victims’ help, detectives coordinated a final drop of $81,000 in gold bars on Nov. 14. Huang accepted the package from a detective pretending to be the female victim, police said.
Investigators followed him up Interstate 95 to his home in Brooklyn, New York, where New York Police Department detectives arrested him.
He awaits extradition to Maryland, as does 26-year-old Yash Shah, arrested this week in Baldwin, New York.
Shah’s accused of scamming an 88-year-old Montgomery County woman and her 61-year-old daughter out of $2.3 million in a similar scheme in 2023.
Recovery is almost impossible.
The fact this keeps happening despite extensive news coverage means families should consider it a table topic when they get together for the holidays, Petty said.
“This can easily be a 5, 10-minute conversation just checking in with your loved ones, your aging individuals, making sure that they’re not getting these phone calls, these text messages, and responding positively to them,” he said.
Montgomery County police worked with the Baltimore Field Office of the FBI on this case.
