For the first time in 22 years, an MH-60T Jayhawk assigned to U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City lifts off on an area familiarization flight.
Throughout the summer, Air Station Traverse City will be transitioning the -60 to better serve the Great Lakes. A more capable aircraft for this large Area of Responsibilty, the -60 flies faster, farther and carries more cargo than the current MH-65D.
Piper was able to meet the crew and send them off in style for their first flight.
