Coast Guard celebrates a century of aviation
Guard aviators
started at naval
stations in WWI
By EDWARD STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
The U.S. Coast Guard cel-
ebrated 100 years of aviation
this year.
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.
During P rohibition, inter-
dicting alcohol smugglers was

An HH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Air Station North Bend flew North to attend a celebra-

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

and rescue. 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.
