EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014: U.S. Coast Guard MH-65D Dolphin Rescue Demonstration


Fred Harl and Carmelo Turdo
http://www.airassociatesmo.com/tae/EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014 airshows featured several U.S. military aircraft demonstrations, and one was provided by U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City, MI.  A crew from the "Guardians of the Great Lakes" flew an MH-65D Dolphin Short Range Recovery (SRR) Helicopter on a simulated sea rescue mission in front of the afternoon airshow audience.  As can be seen in the following sequence, a crewman operated the winch as his partner poses as the rescue victim.  The flight crew was "photographer friendly," flying low and slow the whole time.  A special The Aero Experience Team thank you to those U.S. Coast Guard rescue teams that are ready to launch at a moment's notice to come to our aid in a maritime emergency.
