Mechanics are the unsung heroes of aviation and this is true in the Coast Guard, as well. Here a crew of maintainers pose for a photo shortly after washing down HC-144A, serial # 2303, at Aviation Training Center Mobile, AL. on 16 June 2008. Shown, from left to right, are: AET3 Jordan Rule, AET3 Michael Zoltek, AET3 Dillon Herbert, AET3 John Warren and AMT3 Jake Eide. The HC-144A is a derivative of the EADS CASA CN-235-300 twin-turbo medium cargo aircraft tailored to the Maritime Patrol and Surveillance mission as part of the USCG Integrated Deepwater System. Ocean Sentry will eventually replace the HU-25. Currently only three aircraft have been delivered and are undergoing Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) at Aviation Training Center Mobile with service entry expected in 2009. © 2008 Greg L.
