📸 uscg The Miami HC-144s were essential throughout the 2017 hurricane season. During Harvey, crews braved severe weather conditions relaying comms between helicopters, hospitals, survivor drop-off locations, and ground units aiding in the assistance of over 1100 lives saved. When Hurricane Maria hit, the crews moved thousands of pounds of relief supplies and personnel throughout Puerto Rico, reaching small airports inaccessible by heavier aircraft. ⠀ #uscg #aviation #miami #puertorico #hurricaneharvey #hurricanemaria
