HH-65A Dolphin

The HH-65 Dolphin is a twin-engined, single main rotor, MEDEVAC-capable Search and Rescue helicopter operated by the United States Coast Guard (USCG). It is used for homeland security patrols, cargo, drug interdiction, ice breaking, military readiness, pollution control, and search and rescue missions. The HH-65 is a variant of the French-built Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin. The SA366 G1 Dauphin version was selected by the United States Coast Guard in 1979 as its new short range recovery air-sea rescue helicopter, replacing the Sikorsky HH-52A Sea Guard. A total of 99 helicopters were acquired; they were optimized for the USCG's search and rescue role tasks and given the designation HH-65A Dolphin. The HH-65 normally carries a crew of four: Pilot, Copilot, Flight Mechanic and Rescue Swimmer.
