HH-60 Jayhawk helicopters and an HH-65A Dolphin hover above hurricane-damaged New Orleans, lifting flood victims to safety. At the height of Katrina rescue operations, over 60 Coast Guard aircraft were simultaneously involved in life-saving missions, making the skies awash in Coast Guard orange. More than 12,500 lives were saved in air rescues alone.
