In 1946, Coast Guard aircraft were used for the first time on the International Ice Patrol, a practice that continues today. When the HC-144A enters Coast Guard operational service later this year, it will be utilized for search and rescue missions, illegal drug and immigrant interdiction, for marine environmental protection, military readiness operations and international ice patrol missions - as well as for cargo and personnel transport. |
