    Two US Coast Guard personnel in orange survival suits and helmets are conducting a helicopter hoist rescue operation on a frozen, snow-covered body of water. A rescue litter (Stokes basket) with a person strapped inside is suspended in the air by a hoist cable, presumably connected to a helicopter above the frame. The background shows a snow-covered marina or boatyard with stored vessels and bare trees.

    A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter (tail number 6511, based in Traverse City) hovers over a snow-covered frozen surface while a hoist cable extends down to two personnel in orange survival suits below. The scene appears to be a rescue training exercise conducted in winter conditions near a marina or boatyard. Buildings, bare trees, and docked sailboat masts are visible in the background.

    A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter (tail number 6511) hovers over a snow-covered area while two rescue personnel on the ground hold a hoist cable. The scene appears to be a search and rescue training exercise conducted in winter conditions near what looks like a marina or boat storage facility. The bright orange MH-65 Dolphin helicopter is clearly marked 'U.S. COAST GUARD' on its fuselage.
    Two U.S. Coast Guard personnel are standing on a frozen, snow-covered surface during what appears to be a rescue operation or training exercise. A rescue basket (Stokes litter) containing a person in a red suit is being hoisted by a cable, likely from a helicopter above the frame. Ice fragments and blowing snow are visible, suggesting rotor wash from the hovering aircraft.
    A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter (tail number 6511, based in Traverse City) hovers over a snow-covered surface during what appears to be a winter rescue training exercise. Four personnel in orange survival suits are on the ground below, with at least one appearing to simulate a rescue scenario involving a litter or sled. A hoist cable is visible extending from the helicopter toward the ground team.
