MIAMI — A Coast Guard Air Station Miami MH-65E Dolphin helicopter aircrew rescue a man stranded on a jetty in the vicinity of St Lucie Inlet. Sunday, December 15, 2024.
The MH-65 Dolphin Short-Range Recovery Helicopter aircrew brought the man to Stuart Airport with no medical concerns.
At approximately 12:20 p.m., an Air Force Rescue Coordination Center watchstander notified Coast Guard Sector Miami watchstanders of a personal locator beacon (PLB) activation. Watchstanders issued an urgent marine information broadcast (UMIB) and launched an Air Station Miami MH-65E Dolphin SRR Helicopter aircrew.
“We are grateful this gentleman had a personal locator beacon to notify Coast Guard watchstanders that he was in distress,” said Lt. Cmdr. James Fennessey, an Air Station Miami MH-65E Dolphin helicopter pilot. “Today’s mission was truly a success to this mariner’s ability to use his safety equipment along with the high level of training and readiness our crews maintain in order to conduct rescues like this.”
The rescue helicopter aircrew brought the man to Stuart Airport with no medical concerns.
