I love the Coast Guard

I've always been rather fond of the Coast Guard, especially since a dear friend of mine served over 20 years in the USCG.

In the news today the Coast Guard managed to talk a pilot down in the ocean about 13 miles off the Hawaiian coast.

Pretty amazing thing considering the pilot was not injured and the plane, while it sank, was in tact when it was ditched.
