CREW OF HH-60 CGNR 6010 AIR STATION KODIAK, AK. LCDR Matthew Breckel, LT John Filipowicz AMT2 Joshua Harris, AST2 Steven Fischer
The Captain Frank A. Erickson award goes to the Air Station Kodiak crew of CGNR 6010 in recognition of their heroic efforts on 25 January 2012.
The actions of this aircrew resulted in seven lives saved. Encountering icing conditions throughout their transit, CG 6010 arrived on-scene to find that the F/V Heritage had sunk and the crew had abandoned ship. Five members made it into a life raft and two others were floating in their survival suits. With ice accumulating on the aircraft, battling 60-knot winds and 25-foot seas, the crew expertly positioned CG 6010 in a hover over the survivors. Despite the challenging conditions, CG 6010 continued hoisting in the sub-freezing conditions, recovering two survivors. With five survivors still in the life raft, CG 6010 was able to locate a Good Samaritan to recover the remaining survivors. The crew’s superlative aeronautical abilities, initiative, bravery, and teamwork were evident throughout this mission. Congratulations to the crew of CG 6010!
The Frank Erickson Award recognizes Rotary-Wing aircrews who have demonstrated exceptional performance while engaged in search and rescue operations.

The commander Elmer F. Stone award goes to the Air Station Kodiak crew of CGNR 1790 in recognition of their efforts on 25 Jauaary 2012
CG 1790 launched during the pre-dawn hours to provide support to CG 6005, which launched from Air Station Kodiak to rescue the crew of the F/V Kimberly. CG 1790 arrived onscene, established communications after COMMSTA Kodiak lost radio contact with CG 6005, and entered an orbit while combating winds ranging from 80 to over 100 knots. Hurricane force winds in such close proximity to the terrain generated heavy localized turbulence and caused un-commanded climbs and descents in excess of 200 feet, forcing both pilots to work to control the aircraft. After the first H-60 was unable to hoist the survivors, CG 1790 remained on station acting as onscene commander. After a second H-60 arrived, the crew of CG 1790 handled all communications with sector anchorage, three H-60s, and a second C-130. The actions of CG 1790 were critical to the successful rescue of 11 persons.
