For any Coasties out there past or present, aviators, sailors, watchstanders - there are tales of heroism and rules of life we can all live by and enjoy listening to. We hope to expand our reach beyond the Mighty 65 as the show goes on.

E93 Helicopter Interdiction Tactical...RON (HITRON)
The team sits down with CDR's Charles Wilson and Daniel Schrader to discuss the Coast Guard's own Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON), the mission set, goals, and future growth. Although the team tries to to get the Commanders to spill the tea about the mission, they only give us enough to tease and perhaps have us put it on the ol' dream sheet! Have a listen as we discuss one of the services most unique missions!

Customer Reviews
USCG aviation at its finest..
What a great show! You guys have great energy and do an awesome job telling the Coast Guard story professionally. Keep up the great work!!
Like a stream-of-consciousness master class in aviation leadership
As a former Marine aviator and now 18-year HEMS pilot, I promise you there’s a gold mine of wisdom behind the microphones here. If you are an outsider listening in, hang on - it’s worth the effort to decipher the lingo. This is NOT the idiot’s guide to USCG aviation; don’t expect a training timeout for Acronyms-101. What you CAN expect is world class aircrew sharing insight with humility and a lot of fun.
It’ll do
More exciting than a trip to Iowa!
