The rescue helicopter individually airlifted the women to a remote landing zone so the pilot could land and have them board the aircraft, HFD officials said. The two 25-year-olds and one 26-year-old were then airlifted to the Waimano Home Road landing zone at 6 p.m. and did not need medical attention, according to HFD.
