The crew of an Air Station Sitka Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter encounters the Coast Guard Cutter Liberty on one of their training flights within the coastal waters of Southeast Alaska, Sept. 30, 2013. Homeported in Auke Bay, Alaska, the Liberty is a 110-foot, multi-mission patrol boat. The air station and Liberty share the same area of responsibility and stand ready to work together to respond to mariners in distress when the need arises.
