Air Station Los Angeles

Air Station Los Angeles was a United States Coast Guard aviation unit established in 1962, located at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in California. The unit provided vital search and rescue, law enforcement, and environmental protection missions along the Southern California coastline and offshore waters. Over the decades, Air Station Los Angeles operated a variety of helicopters, most recently the HH-65 Dolphin, and responded to thousands of emergency calls, saving countless lives. The air station was decommissioned in 2016, with its responsibilities and assets transferred to other Coast Guard units in the region.
