HC-130 crews were busy at opposite ends of the country in late spring. On 2 June, Alaska Air National Guard HC-130 rescue tanker and HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter crews from Kulis ANGB outside of Anchorage rescued a young woman in medical distress in bad weather from an altitude of 9,000 feet near the Canadian border. The helicopters refueled in the air four times during the mission. In the Atlantic, airmen from Moody AFB, Georgia, were credited with saving a civilian's life in late May when they rescued a stranded boater about 450 miles from Jacksonville, Florida. The mission took more than eleven hours with five aerial refuelings. The boater had been floating for a week.
