USCGC Polar Sea WAGB-11
Polar Star
Northwind
A classic example of timing...splendid documentation of a MEDIVAC flight from aboard the USCGC Polar Sea...on station 52 miles north of Barrow, Alaska during Operation Arctic West Summer 1982, when a diver is injured. Helo 1370, with Lt. Hessel at the stick, medivacs the diver to Barrow.
