Watch as Coast Guard Helicopter Crew Rescues Ill Crew Member From Fishing Boat Off the Oregon Coast

STRATHCONA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 25 – The Royal Canadian Air Force provided aerial support during a medical evacuation of a Canadian mariner 300 kilometres off Oregon, demonstrating strong Canada-U.S. cooperation, officials said.

  • On July 24, the Royal Canadian Air Force assisted the U.S. Coast Guard in evacuating a sick Canadian mariner about 300 kilometers off the Oregon Coast.
  • The evacuation followed a medical emergency call from a commercial fishing vessel, prompting watchstanders in Victoria to notify the Coast Guard's command center in Seattle.
  • An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from the U.S. Coast Guard performed the medical evacuation while a CC-295 Kingfisher aircraft operated by personnel from 19 Wing Comox in Canada supported the mission by providing aerial cover, weather updates, and communication assistance.
  • The Jayhawk and Kingfisher arrived on site at approximately 2 p.m.; the patient was then safely lifted aboard and delivered to Coast Guard Air Station Astoria by 4 p.m., after which the Kingfisher returned to Comox.
  • This mission underscores the effective collaboration and seamless coordination between Canadian and U.S. forces operating along the West Coast, as emphasized by Cmdr. Chelsey Stroud and Royal Canadian Air Force member Brar.
