Today’s Movie Monday is a documentary on Coast Guard aircraft and the incredible missions they undertake, putting themselves in harms way to rescue those in need. The footage is really amazing, though the narration is somewhat dry (also, sorry for the time code).
You’ll see the impressive performance and capabilities of Coast Guard helicopters like the HH-60 Jayhawk and HH-65 Dauphin. The Dauphin in particular can frequently be seen in the skies over Washington as several are stationed at the south end of Washington National Airport. I often spot the bright red Dauphin zipping along just above the surface of the Potomac river. Quite a sight indeed. Enjoy.
