Coast Guard rescues 5 from sailing vessel during Tropical Storm Ophelia
Check out this case and the press release below if you missed it! Our MH-60 crews assisted Station Fort Macon’s 47-foot Motor Life Boat crew as they navigated their way back to safety after rescuing 5 people from an anchored catamaran! Coast Guard teamwork at its finest! AET2 Rivera AST3 Kellam LTJG Hoffmann LCDR Cogley PORTSMOUTH, Va. — The Coast Guard rescued five people Friday from an anchored 38-foot catamaran that was beset by weather conditions caused by Tropical Storm Ophelia within Lookout Bight in Cape Lookout, North Carolina. The owner of sailing vessel Wanderful Life used a cell phone to call Coast Guard Sector North Carolina watchstanders on Friday evening at 7:13 p.m. and report his concern with local weather while being anchored within Lookout Bight. The owner of the vessel did not feel comfortable in the channel and requested to be rescued by the Coast Guard. All passengers aboard were wearing lifejackets and three of them were children, ages 10, 7, and 4. A Coast Guard Station Fort Macon 47-foot Motor Life Boat crew, got underway at 7:55 p.m. and transited through the narrow channel with the use of M127A1 parachute flares to illuminate their way due to the adverse conditions created by Tropical Storm Ophelia. The station crew arrived on scene at 8:55 p.m. and began their personnel transfer from the sailing vessel to the station boat, getting all five passengers aboard by approximately 9:23 p.m. A Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew also arrived on scene and provided an overhead light for the transit back to the station, arriving there at 10:22 p.m. The sailing vessel was left anchored and will be assessed by local salvage crews, once Tropical Storm Ophelia passes. The conditions at the time were 6-foot to 8-foot seas, with occasional 10-foot swells. The winds were 35 to 40 mph. There were no reported injuries.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Last week our crews flew 185 NM offshore to conduct a medevac of a critical patient! The MH-60 hoisted and transferred the patient to a higher level of care while the HC-130 flew over head providing cover and communication between involved assets! Great team work and execution of an awesome case!!

Check out this video from our C-130 and H-60 formation flyover at Norfolk State University’s Military Appreciation football game this past weekend!

Happy Veterans Day to all those who have served and are currently serving in the military! Even though it is a holiday for most, we are still out there training to be our best. Check out this video from today’s C-130J drop training flight. Huge shout out to our Auxiliary members for being our decoy and recovery vessel.

Training with public vessels is always a plus for us! Having opportunites to train the way we operate gives our crews a more realistic perspective as to how things will go during a real mission. Shout out to the Cape May-Lewes Ferry for letting our C130 crew conduct a visual ID pass, and get some valuable training in.

Ever wonder how we get these massive aircraft into and out of the hanger? We have a skilled tug driver and multiple wing walkers who work together to make sure the aircraft get into and out of the hanger in a safe and efficient manner. Check out this video of the C130 crews pushing the plane out on to the ramp!

Bravo Zulu, Shipmates!
Congratulations to multiple members of the AIRSTA Elizabeth City Crew on their numerous and varied accomplishments! Each one of you does the Coast Guard and our Unit proud!
