Couldn't see the vid. (frowny face) just a field saying "owner has disabled..."

But, yes, indeed, they reverse the giftwrapping when they stray into the seas where the icebergs grow.

My experience with the USCG is from an earlier time, evidently. For instance, my buddy's dad was flying HU-16s out of the PI and later, Alabama.

I still recall H-52s and HH-53s if memory serves, doing turns IN the water.

Now Citations and H-60s. Who is amphibious these days?
2nd oldest Federal service.

The Coast Guard Historian's Office photography collection is one of the largest collections of Coast Guard-related photography in the world. It consists of hundreds of thousands of distinct photographs, negatives and slides dating from the post-Civil War-era to the early 1990s. Images include lighthouses, cutters, lighthouse tenders, light vessels, combat images (especially from World War II and Vietnam), personnel, life-boat and air stations. This collection also includes several thousand books, pamphlets, manuals, directives, instructions and newsletters that deal specifically with the Coast Guard or are Coast Guard publications. Most significant are the old manuals, service publications and back issues of most of the periodicals published by the service.
cheers Y'all Limey Coasties ...

So, I take it that you've done helo-casting?

Normally, we were supposed to use the nice, wide tailgate of a CH-46 but noooo.

We had to use the side door of an H-3, so you had to perform the Twist and Shout.
