We take a break from the AHRS Fireside chats to continue our unsustainable guest streak with the CG's most senior aviator, Admiral Charles W. Ray, the Vice Commandant of the Coast Guard!
Admiral Ray is the Ancient Albatross, has flown multiple airframes, and has held numerous high level leadership positions in the organization. Forgive us for sounding a bit nervous as we discuss SAR stories, the health of our people and fleet, and the future of CG aviation.
We plan to release shows on a bi-weekly basis. On Fridays of course!
Hosts: LCDR Nate Shakespeare, LCDR Sam Hafensteiner
Producer: LT Ryan Vandehei
AV Guru: Chuck Seay
