A Coast Guard C-130 aircraft crew based out of Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak practices takeoffs and landings at the Kodiak Airport here. The C-130 is the Coast Guard's primary long range search aircraft. Each year C-130 air crews here conduct thousands of missions ranging from living marine resource patrols to long range search and rescue missions. There are four C-130 aircraft stationed in Kodiak.
