Coast Guard copter from Kodiak flies to Shemya
That's some distance for a rescue...
Good job Coasties.
Coast Guard copter from Kodiak flies to Shemya: AP Alaska | adn.com
KODIAK, Alaska - Coast Guard crews from Kodiak flew to Shemya in the western Aleutians to medevac a crewman who fell ill on a bulk carrier.
The Coast Guard says the distance is the equivalent of Seattle to Oklahoma City.
The 35-year-old crewman with abdominal pains was lifted Saturday from the bulk carrier about 85 miles southwest of Shemya and delivered to a commercial medevac in Shemya. The bulk carrier, the Asia Graca, is on its way from South Korea to Seattle.
The Coast Guard says the long-range medevec required two crews for the Jayhawk helicopter and a Hercules military transport.Verified Libra- There sure are a lot of people born in August around here.

Bravo Zulu.
SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.
-General Omar Bradley, United States Army
