HAU 252 Coast Guard Rescue

Amazing footage of United States Coast Guard from Air Station Astoria rescuing downed paraglider off the coast of Oregon.

Amazing recovery and an awesome appreciative survivor. Really cool S&R staff, swimmers, pilots and everyone else. Great story. Thanks for sharing.

The hero that day was the other para glider that right away called 911!

The Oregon Coast has a nasty reputation for being one of the toughest environments for a USCG aircraft and especially a rescue swimmer to operate in and rightfully so because their being battered by 5 to 10 ft waves and winds that can easily exceed 40 mph but in 12+ years in a search and rescue position one of the first things I was taught was to stay calm in a crisis cause panicking will just exacerbate the situation even more for both yourself and your rescuer!
