Jul 1979, operating from CGAS Cape Cod, rescued an injured seaman from the Sporty Fisherman and flew to a local hospital for treatment. Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod
w/o struck a high cliff and fell to the beach below on Ugak Island off Kodiak, AK. all 6 onboard killed Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak
I was the radioman on duty at the air station when this crash occured. They were flying out to bring in a child with a head injury from a village. We sent a C-130 to look for them after they failed to make radio contact. The c-130 found the wreakage burning. I remember how the CO of the airsta looked right through me as I informed him there were no survivors, like his mind was a million miles away, with his lost crew.
Lost a good crew... knew Kevin McCracken. "No greater love" jef
I had duty the night of the crash put Dr. Rockmore and HS3 Chip King on the helo. Good men. Till we meet again.
