USCG AIR STATION SAVANNAH

U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Savannah was established in 1963 at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia, to enhance search and rescue, law enforcement, and maritime patrol capabilities along the southeastern U.S. coastline. The unit initially operated HU-16E Albatross and HH-52A Seaguard helicopters before transitioning to more advanced MH-65 Dolphin helicopters over the decades. Air Station Savannah has played a vital role in hurricane response, migrant interdiction, and environmental protection missions throughout its history. Continually modernizing its equipment and training, the station remains a critical asset for Coast Guard operations in the region.
