ASTORIA, Ore. (Sept. 11) -- Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Steve Davis, an aviation maintenance technician (AVT) from Air Station Astoria, prepares to release a data marker buoy (DMB) while searching for a missing boater. The buoy emits tones that are detected by the helicopter's direction finding equipment, which enables the crew to hone in on a specific search area. USCG photo by PA2 Jacquelyn Zettles
