    Coast Guard Air Station Sitka personnel give Clare Wineland, a 13-year-old resident of Calabasas, Calif., a ride around the Mt. Edgecomb volcano and the city of Sitka in an MH-60T Jayhawk rescue helicopter during her visit to Alaska Friday, Oct. 22, 2010. Wineland, who is terminally ill, was finally well enough to visit Alaska and was inspired by the Coast Guard helicopters she saw in Sitka.

    A group of six people pose in front of a black and orange helicopter on a tarmac or helipad, likely at dusk or dawn. Four individuals are wearing orange flight/rescue suits with harnesses and helmets, while two are wearing blue coveralls. The setting and equipment suggest this is a search and rescue or coast guard operation.
    A young girl is smiling broadly while wearing a United States Coast Guard flight suit and a navy blue beanie hat embroidered with 'USCG Air Station Sitka, Alaska.' She has a nasal cannula (medical oxygen tube) visible under her nose, suggesting she has a medical condition. The setting appears to be inside a Coast Guard facility, likely during a special visit or wish-fulfillment event.
    A young girl wearing a United States Coast Guard flight suit and a nasal cannula is smiling broadly while holding up an official U.S. Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard Aircrew Certificate. The certificate is made out to 'Claire Wineland' and designates her as Honorary Basic Aircrew, qualified at Air Station Sitka, Alaska on October 29, 2010. This appears to be a wish-fulfillment or special recognition event for a child with a medical condition.
