US Coast Guard Rescue Demo

This was fun and I got to practice some action shots. Thought I'd share.

Dropping dummy in the water...

Rescue swimmer getting ready to jump in, can see fins hanging down from door on opposite side...

This was from demo earlier in the day, but thought I'd throw it in there too. (Korean era Howitzers.)

Neat shots, Linda! What's that red smoky stuff on the water in this one - some type of rescue flare?

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Thank you! Yes, it was a flare. I saw it a little late.

Great captures Linda! Those CG choppers are VERY cool!!

Thanks, Kyle. I agree - my son loves watching them. They often fly right over our house!

Nice shots! Where did they do that? That looks like fun. Too bad I missed it. They fly over me everyday! Of course I work at Otis Air Force Base, so I guess that gives me the advantage there.

I may have posted this before as it was in my photobucket account, but here is one I got from the Cape League All Star Game. Flew right over our heads! I also see that it is the SAME helicopter. #6032. Too funny!

LOL, that is too funny, Andy! The demo was on the Plymouth waterfront.

Your post caused me to look back at some shots I took near Otis in September - I don't know if you can see it too well in shot #2, but sure enough, it's copter # 6032!

It can't be the only one we have, can it??

I hope not! Maybe the only one that does fun stuff that people can see. Come to think of it though, I've only seen one at any one time....

That guy is BUSY!
