Show Notes

It's AHRS season and we brought our equipment to Astoria with us! Listen in on our "Fireside Chat Sessions" in this next series of episodes. Today we discuss the Advanced Helicopter Rescue School (AHRS), the Coast Guard's only Aviation High Risk Training (HRT) school. Hear from some of the courses leading instructors, LCDR Paul (PJ) Johansen, AMTC Chris Walker, and AST1 Chad Smolar. They have seen, done, and instructed it all in the most demanding environments we place our crews.

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
