ANTARES Issue 4
Always Ready - US Coast Guard Sector San Diego 
The U.S. Coast Guard began operating an Air Patrol Detachment from civil San Diego facilities in 1934, but in 1935 the city of San Diego deeded the Coast Guard 23 acres of tideland adjacent to the municipal airport to establish a stand-alone USCG air station. The new air station was commissioned in April 1937 and many types of aircraft have passed through the base since then, including seaplanes, helicopters and amphibious aircraft. Unlike most Coast Guard bases however, it is not a stand-alone air station and Jimmy van Drunen reviews the history and operations of this USCG base.

Air Attack Issue 33
https://www.airattackmag.com
https://indd.adobe.com/view/40e35db8-93 ... d091ba99d6

ANALYSIS OF A
AIR TANKER ACCIDENT In January 2020, a Coulson Aviation Lockheed EC-130Q crashed in hilly country located in New South Wales, fatally injuring its three crew. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) released a report into the accident over two years later, in August 2022. Mark Ogden reviews the accident report to see what lessons can be learned by the forest fire
fighting community that is so reliant on aviation support.

FIRE FIGHTING
WITH THE BIG BOYS Fighting massive fires requires countermeasures, with specially converted Very Large Air Tanker (VLAT) aircraft at the forefront, delivering thousands of gallons of water or retardant in a single pass. These leviathans however, are expensive to operate, and the basic aircraft is often poorly matched to the needs of the mission. So, what can we learn
to inform future capability for the firefighting 'big boys'?

BREAKING THE MOULD
COLUMBIA AND BOEING SECURE
THE FUTURE OF THE CIVIL CHINOOK how Boeing saw the long-term sustainability of the increasing number of ex-military CH-47s that are being divested by the US Army, and other militaries, as they migrate to the newer and more capable CH-47F and CH-
47F Block Il machines. Ever the poker-faced executives, the Boeing team acknowledged that they did see it as an issue
they would like to confront when the time was right.

FOREST SERVICE AVIATION
STAFF RIDE
The Fire Aviation Staff Ride, as conceptualized by the
Aviation Staff of the Forest Service and facilitated by OMNA International LLC, represents an essential educational tool designed to enhance the leadership and operational
capabilities of individuals within the wildland fire community. This initiative is a profound journey through the archives of firefighting aviation history, aimed at instilling a deep understanding of the strategic, tactical, and ethical dimensions
of wildfire management through the lens of aviation.

Robinson launches R88, designed to be next-gen ‘pickup truck’ for utility sector
Robinson Helicopters has unveiled the R88 — a new 10-seater single-engine helicopter that it believes will become the new “pickup truck” the utility sector has long been calling for.
Revealed during a special presentation on the eve of Verticon (formerly known as Heli-Expo), the industry’s biggest annual tradeshow, the R88 represents Robinson’s first new type for almost 15 years.

Robinson's R88 - Moving on Up?
'R88' was an early 'favourite', and the logical next step in the lineage from 22, 44 and 66.
The R88 has finally broken cover. It looks to answer a lot of questions in the light utility, EMS and firefighting roles, but, importantly, might also prove revolutionary for those owner/operators looking for more room and space, and a IFR capability, without the additional investment required to move further up the commitment scale into the likes of the H135.

Bell will exhibit at Verticon 2025 this year in its backyard of Dallas, Texas, and showcase its aircraft, technology and customer solutions.
Bell closed out 2024 with 172 deliveries to various segments, providing aircraft to the Royal Jordanian Air Force, Chicago PD, Quiktrip, and more.
The team completed various fleet deals including 10 Bell 525s to Equinor and 15 Bell 407GXis to Global Medical Response.
The Global Customer Solutions team announced new upgrades including the BasiX-Pro Glass Cockpit retrofit kit for Bell 412 and 429 models, as well as EASA certification for Garmin’s GFC 600H flight control system for the Bell 505.
Bell will celebrate its 90th anniversary this year and looks forward to having its full commercial aircraft portfolio on display at Verticon 2025:
Peoria Police Dept. Bell 505: The recently delivered aircraft marked the start of the department’s first joint Aviation Unit with the Peoria Fire Department.
The aircraft aids both law enforcement and firefighting missions for one of Arizona’s most densely populated suburbs outside of Phoenix.
Global Medical Response Bell 407GXi: Global Medical Response, one of the largest air medical operators in the world, recently signed for 15 IFR-configured Bell 407GXi aircraft, bringing their total fleet to 250 Bell helicopters.
Quiktrip Corporation Bell 429: Quiktrip Corporation signed for their second Bell 429 at last year’s HAI Heli-Expo 2024, leveraging the aircraft to seamlessly transport business leaders as they manage more than 1,400 stores nationwide.
Kern County SUBARU Bell 412EPX: Kern County is one of the many agencies in California that leverages the SUBARU Bell 412EPX for firefighting missions to serve the citizens of California and the agency bravely fought the L.A. fires this year.
Oil and Gas Configured Bell 525: Bell will have a production Bell 525 aircraft on display, in its latest offshore oil-and-gas configuration.
Bell’s Global Customer Solutions team continue to provide exceptional customer support to global operators, earning one of the top spots in Vertical Magazine’s OEM Survey in 2024.
This year at Verticon, the BasiX-Pro glass cockpit retrofit upgrade, which received FAA certification for the Bell 429 and Bell 412EP in early 2024, continues to be in great demand.
The Bell BasiX-Pro Glass Cockpit Retrofit Kit uses the current Bell production displays from Astronautics and Garmin avionics by upgrading analog instruments to a full glass cockpit featuring the latest technology and state of the art instrumentation.
Bell also recently announced a collaboration with GPMS for Foresight MX, Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) for the Bell 407, 429, 212, and 412 series aircraft.
Bell is also participating in a BHVM trade-in program with GPMS to bring Foresight MX to more Bell customers.
