One more STAN Visit in the books for the Cherry Capital of the World, Traverse City. Beautiful weather, amazing “Duck” program support, and a full flight schedule were only a few of the highlights. A huge shout out to everyone at TC from the galley staff, Mx, swimmer shop, to Ops for making the entire visit seamless. Keep up the great work!

MH-60 ESTAN had the opportunity to visit the Flight Mechanic “C” School in Mesa Arizona to help rollout the introduction of training for the ATLAS Emergency Hoisting Device. Students will get classroom instruction and hands on training to increase basic familiarity before moving into their flight syllabus back at their units.

June 21, 2024 marked the end of the STAN visit in Kodiak, Alaska. A huge shout out to all of the aircrews, and maintainers for the overwhelming support. Beautiful weather, positive attitudes, strong work ethics, and amazing flying marks just a few of the highlights from the visit. Keep up the amazing work.

Back to the home of flight itself. December 17 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first controlled, powered aircraft flights at Kitty Hawk on North Carolina's Outer Banks. That tradition is still holding strong as the USCG AIRSTA Elizabeth City and ALC visits come to a close!

Just like a good California Burrito we’re all wrapped up from another successful STAN visit in Americas Finest City. With so many great training opportunities in the area, San Diego has capitalized! Great job by everyone! You stay classy San Diego!

USCG Airstation Borinquen “Orgullo Del Caribe” (pride of the caribbean). First STAN Visit complete for 2024. Way to start off the new year and set the bar high!
