Petty Officer 3rd Class Shawn James, aviation maintenance technician, inspects parts of the tail rotor on a Coast Guard MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter aboard Coast Guard Air Station Astoria, Ore., June 6, 2013. The air station always has one Jayhawk ready for operations with a flight crew and rescue swimmer. With its external fuel tanks, it is capable of reaching as far as 300 nautical miles offshore allowing Air Station Astoria to conduct missions anywhere in the Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
