Must be nice to have a helo. One of these days someone is going to punch in the Navy Meridian local area and get hung up in a pine tree overnight.
What a beautiful story ... i.e., STUDs screaming, STUDs Med Down, STUDs in rehab, STUDs selecting fighter/attack .... and now a former STUD an airline pilot..... When I asked him if he had contact with the SNA, he said "No, but I can hear him screaming."
The SNA was med down for over a year going through rehab, then wound up selecting Hornets and is now a United pilot.

Can ANYONE say "thank you Jesus" ... ???
Apparently some bean counter decided that since the asset hadn't been used in 5 years, the expense couldn't be justified. Or that's the rumor I heard.Did the Hueys go away? They used to be the Station SAR there.

GUM ... or PGUA, if you prefer, now that they reside @ Andersen, as opposed to NAS Agana. Probably Atsugi as well ... but I suppose you were talkin' CONUS.Lots of Station SAR went away...I think the only station SARs left are Whidbey, Key West, and Fallon....
He said the money just wasn't there to replace all of them, and it was kind of hard to justify giving NAS CC the helos when they have a CGAS right there.
A4s, HSC-25 is what an HC squadron used to be, not a Station SAR outfit.
You say potato, I say potah-toe .... from their website:A4s, HSC-25 is what an HC squadron used to be, not a Station SAR outfit.
...but I think they do a lot more homeguard SAR then your run of the mill helo squadron. No clue about whether HSL-51 or HS-14 out of NAF Atsugi stands a SAR duty.
I believe it. The J's are wound very, very, very tight.Japanese are primary SAR at Atsugi. Its funny when they launch the SAR helo for a P-3 3 engine approach.
