Air Station Astoria held an open house Saturday at the Astoria Regional Airport in Warrenton, where Coast Guard aviators have been stationed for the past 50 years. Coast Guard aviation ofﬁ - cially began April 1, 1916, when 3rd Lt. Elmer Stone reported to ﬂ ight training in Pensacola, Florida. That year, Congress had authorized the Coast Guard to establish 10 air stations around the U.S., but provided no funding. Coast Guard aviators started their history based at U.S. n aval a ir s tations during World War I.

A yellow MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter celebrating the centennial of Coast Guard Aviation has been stationed at Air Station Astoria until 2020. one of the main missions of the Coast Guard. Lt. Cmdr. C.G. Von Paulsen demonstrated the usefulness of aircraft using a borrowed Navy seaplane. Congress later authorized $152,000 for ﬁ ve planes. In 1943, Coast Guard avia- tors started training on Sikorsky HNS-1 and HOS-1 helicop- ters, intended for antisubma- rine warfare against German U-boats during World War II. As the U-boat threat waned, the helicopters shifted to search An uncaptioned photo cred- ited to Shawn Maddux shows an HH-65 Dolphin helicopter lifting someone out of the Pacific Ocean.

The ﬁ rst lifesaving mission delivered blood plasma carried in an HNS-1 helicopter following an explosion on the Naval destroyer Turner near Sandy Hook, New Jersey. In 1964, the Coast Guard established Air Station Astoria, stationing two single-engine Sikorsky HH-52A Seaguard helicopters at North Tongue Point. The station moved to the Port of Astoria’s Astoria Regional Airport in 1966. The Seaguards were replaced with three larger twin-engine HH-3F Pelicans in 1973. Air Station Astoria played a special part in women’s his- tory. In 1976, Coast Guard avi- ation opened to women. Janna Lambine, the ﬁ rst woman des- ignated a helicopter pilot in the Coast Guard, started her career in 1977 ﬂ ying Pelicans out of Air Station Astoria. The Coast Guard added two HU-25A Falcon jets to the air station in 1983, doubling han- gar space, adding a medical and shop building and adding a third jet in 1988. By 1987, the Pelicans were replaced with three HH-65 Dolphins, one of the most ubiquitous helicopters in the Coast Guard. In 1995, the Falcon jets and Dolphins were replaced by the air station’s modern helicop- ters, the MH-60 Jayhawk.
