The history of Coast Guard aviation

[littlefred811]

The brothers Wright didn't invent the airplane, true. They were, however, the first to have a successful takeoff, flight, and landing under power. It was just a few years after Orville was told he would never fly, and promptly invented Wilbur.

Who invented the airplane was the Brazilian Santos Dumont, only the suckers were patriotic Americans believe that the 3 cock sucker, Santos Dumont flying first in 23 Oct 1906 in Paris before many people in a contest, the brothers did it in front of anyone, is no scientific record, only suckers believe.Viva o Brassssssssil

Interesting video but the part about the Coast Guard "swimmer program" starting 1983 is not exactly true. At least one Air Station (San Fran) began a program called "SARWET" in the middle 70s. While it was started on an informal basis with a group of volunteers, and was not as sophisticated as the later Swimmer program, the SARWET program did involve crewman getting in the water.
