A flare canister dropped by an Air Station Kodiak HC-130 Hercules crew near Kodiak, Alaska, during a training run Aug. 13, 2013, is visible from great distances on the open ocean. The Coast Guard's large fixed-wing aircraft is often the first platform on the scene of an emergency at sea. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Auxiliarist Drew Herman)
