Not only are our Coast Guard people good, but they do get around. Barents or Bering?  ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans …. Together we have resisted the trap of appeasement, cynicism, and isolation that gives temptation to tyrants.” — George H. W. Bush | |||

Good lord those are some rough, unforgiving waters. Well done USCG. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

I liked the comment of the video that said something to the effect that they didn’t see how the helicopter could carry The crew since they have such large balls! ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

If it's near St. Paul Island, it has to be the Bering Sea. The Barents Sea is thousands of miles away.

A few years ago Weather Channel had a dozen or so episodes of Coast Guard Alaska. I could not find any of the on the site http://weathergroup.com/newsro...4-coast-guard-alaska but they're on YouTube, here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXVjb9p6QjU | |||

I am just amazed the helicopter can even fly with a crew on board with obvious big balls of steel. | |||

Semper Paratus indeed. And that is in relatively good weather for Alaska. Imagine doing it at night as well. Those CG helo pilots and crew are definitely heroic, and they are out there doing it 24/7 all across the country. I witnessed many of their rescues while orbiting overhead in the Falcon. Always have had a ton of respect for those helo bubbas. | |||

It is REALLY amazing what the USCG does and the risks they take and they are probably the most unrecognized branch of the US. | |||

Remember this movie about USCG rescue swimmers? Ok movie, good action scenes. Reminds me of An Officer & a Gentleman somewhat. "All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope." --Sir Winston Churchill "The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose." --James Earl Jones | |||

My nephew has been one of the producers on Deadliest Catch the last 3-years, going out there for King and Snow Crab season is no joke. Not work for the meek. | |||

Does anyone know why USCG -60s are not equipped with refueling probes like AF rescue -60Gs and Army Spec Ops -60s? I know we're talking different missions, but for flights over the ocean one would think refueling capabilty would be wise. The list below shows 27 C-130s that could be converted with wing drogues. https://www.uscg.mil/datasheet...le/1547982/aircraft/ I suspect $$ is one issue, could it be the AF does not want to share the CONUS and AK long-range rescue mission? | |||
