I’ve only flown other helicopters that weren’t a MD500 a few times… the R22 was the worst for me. Then I got to fly the AS350 and H125 with another friend.

At the time of my discharge the California Highway Patrol had more man power than the entire UNITED states Coast Guard. Coast Guard Helicopter Pilots are the best in the world for one simple reason, they will fly when nobody else will. To this day it was the most rewarding job I’ve ever had. Semper Paratus .

The US Coast Guard may not get the same recognition as the other branches, but they truly are some hardened bad asses. The crews who run rescue missions in and around the Bering Sea / Gulf of Alaska are the truest form on the word hero. MAJOR respect to the US Coast Guard and what they do for our country.

Spent 10 years active duty in the Coast Guard driving boats and loved every bit of it. I'm glad you got to see a small part of what makes the USCG so awesome.

My son just joined HITRON a few months ago and is currently getting qualified in aircraft maintenance. I’m a Navy vet and was stationed on a carrier, and I thought this video was super cool! It’s amazing what these pilots and gunners can do at those speeds!

That was a great inside view of one of the missions of the Coast Guard.

Epic video‼️ I felt like I was in a Mission Impossible next level movie, especially having Diesel Dave acting the bad guy. He could drug snuggle me any day 😊
