Road Trip: Coast Guard Air Station Houston, Texas

United States Coast Guard Air Station Houston is a United States Coast Guard Air Station located 15 miles southeast of downtown Houston, Texas on board the Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base (JRB).

Coast Guard Air Station (CGAS) Houston has provided an all-weather 24/7 Search & Rescue (SAR) coverage capability to the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast since 1963.

CGAS Houston operates three MH-65D "Dolphin" helicopters, patrolling an area from the Colorado River at Matagorda Bay, Texas, to White Lake, Louisiana, averaging more than 180 SAR cases a year. The missions include Search and Rescue (SAR), Homeland Security, Fisheries Enforcement, Environmental Protection, and Maritime Law Enforcement.

CGAS Houston's Area of Responsibility (AOR) includes 3 of the 4 Strategic Petroleum Reserve facilities in the United States, the South Texas Nuclear Generating Station, and the expansive petroleum and gas industry located on board hundreds of oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. CGAS Houston's AOR also include the strategic ports and waterways of Freeport, TX, Sabine, TX, Lake Charles, LA, as well as the U.S.'s second busiest port in terms of total cargo volume trade in the Houston Ship Channel.

 Air Station Houston plays a major role in over 3,000 air rescues in the Hurricane Harvey aftermath housing multiple helicopters from other air stations to provide additional mutual aid in efforts to save lives.

Hi Kathy, safe and sound at home now, had a good New Years visiting and hanging out with relatives and friends.

[PROCON]

Hey radu, long time, no see, LOL!

It was a great week away from home. I drove about 700 miles going here and there and back again.

Lots of card playing with my Sister and BIL.

Then headed up to the N. Washington coast to hang with him and help him a bit with his retirement home. Also met up with an old high school friend who I hadn't seen in decades.

Whew, back home yesterday and ready to tackle the New Year!

And no, I didn't stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve, LOL.

Howz things been with you and the cute kittehs?
