While not in the plan for the day, completion of an ambitious science schedule and excellent weather conditions provided an opportunity for “ice liberty” – an opportunity for the crew to disembark the vessel, stretch their legs and take a break from regularly scheduled operations. The diving officer also sought out this opportunity to conduct a familiarization training dive with Healy’s newest divers. A dive plan was reviewed by the operations officer and executive officer and approved by the commanding officer. The plan called for all three divers to dive simultaneously using dry PSDiver Magazine www.PSDiver.com Page 1 suits and SCUBA gear. Two consecutive dives, not exceeding 20-feet in depth, would be conducted lasting 20 minutes each. At 4:30 p.m., “ice liberty” was granted to the crew; and was being conducted at the same time, and in the same general location, as the dive operation. Ice liberty included “polar bear plunges,” football, and consumption of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

  • Coast Guard Aviation Association the Ancient Order of the Pterodactyl
    Coast Guard Aviation Association The Ancient Order of the Pterodactyl Celebrating An Era of Achievement Ancient Pterodactyls plucked creatures from the sea. So have we and do we still. See “Who, What, and Why We Are” on Page 15 A wise man once stated, "Don't tell me how hard you have worked -..tell me what you have achieved." Here is but a small example of what the over 2,000 members of CGAA/AOP have achieved as the result of a large investment of member "sweat equity'' and financial commitment from ourselves and our sponsors in this century. Together we will far surpass even this modest level of support of Coast Guard Aviation and the preservation and display of Coast Guard aviation history. From its founding in 1977 through 2000, the association grew steadily in membership, accomplished much, and set an ambitious course for the future. A very brief summary of early years includes: Supporting expansion of the Coast Guard Exhibit at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola Publishing a Coast Guard Aviation history book Encouraging and assisting several authors of books in describing various aspects of CG Aviation history Expanding the CG Aviation Hall of Honor (formerly Hall of Fame) at Aviation Training Center, Mobile, AL Opening membership to all Coast Guard pilots, aircrew, flight surgeons, and supporters of Coast Guard Aviation Enhancing recognition of exemplary performance and professionalism at annual gatherings ("Roosts") Publishing the association journal "PTEROGRAM" three times per year (now in digital format) Granting funds and professional support to the Coast Guard Academy Cadet Aviation Club Creating and funding the annual presentation of the Captain Marion "Gus" Shrode Flight Safety Award 1 HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS DURING THIS CENTURY 2000 The association assisted in the fund raising and historical research efforts to erect an Aviation Memorial at Coast Guard Base Elizabeth City, NC honoring all those who have perished while flying missions in Coast Guard Aircraft.
