    A U.S. Coast Guard rescue operation is underway on a rocky cliff face. A rescuer in an orange flight suit and harness is climbing the rocks while assisting a person in blue clothing, with an orange safety rope secured across the terrain. A white and orange Coast Guard helicopter, marked 'USCG', hovers overhead providing aerial support.
    A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter, numbered 6029 and named 'Astoria,' is shown in flight with its side door open. Two crew members in orange flight suits and helmets are visible seated in the open doorway, with one appearing to wave. The aircraft displays the distinctive USCG orange-and-white color scheme with 'RESCUE' markings and the 'USCG' designation on the fuselage.
    A rescue or coastguard operative in an orange flight suit is suspended from a helicopter winch cable high above a wide sandy beach. The person is wearing full safety gear including a helmet, harness, and high-visibility gloves, suggesting a training exercise or active rescue operation. Several small figures of people are visible on the beach far below, providing scale to the significant altitude.
