Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers // Amazing to watch these U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmers from the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Astoria practice for rescues in and around the Pacific Ocean and the Columbia River. I have loved aviation and aviation photography for many years so was really lucky to photograph this training session on a recent visit to the lighthouse at Cap Disappointment State Park in southwest Washington.
