Great rescue! I love the CG. U know those helicopters float, Saw one floating in the bay once. I was told the engine blew up. Watched it motor up to shore rev up and fly to parking lot! Very cool.
Stop DOING DRUGS, especially acid.
Right Gasquet, You can imagine my surprise when I saw that thing down in the water? No acid for me thats an old persons drug!
Dept of Transportation evidently can’t afford the PMS (Planned Maintenance System) on them I guess or not as much as they should if the “engine blew up” !!! The Coast Guard although considered military are under the Dept of Transportation!!!
They have been under the Depart of Homeland Security for over 15 years.
The Coast Guard isn’t under the Department of Transportation, it’s under the Department of Homeland Security.
it is called pmcs. Prementive Mantanince Checks and Service and no sorry coast guard doesnt fall under DOT but DHS
The ‘new” helicopters don’t float… the older ones did.
Is that progress?
>”Is that progress?”
Dunno. New ones are faster… and the old ones wore out over time.
Old ones you could (maybe) land in 6′ seas.
They’ve been busy lately. Thanks for all You do, CG! You guys ROCK!!!
The Coast Guard is now part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
OK, Live & learn last I knew they were still under DOT!!! That was at the end of the Viet Nam war!!! Shows how much I (haven’t) been paying attention!!! Thanks for the corrections!!!
Probably because you spend too much time paying attention to and “correcting” other people’s grammar.
As I recall from the Vietnam Era, the USCG was under the Treasury Dept., not Transportation, at that time. Fact Checkers can tell us whose memory worked.
Love the Coast Guard, they do so much every day.
