On December 23, 2017, a mariner aboard the fishing vessel 'Snowy' was successfully medevaced by the US Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak, approximately 122 miles southwest of Adak, Alaska. Alarm was raised when the crew reported the mariner showing symptoms consistent with appendicitis. In response, the 17th District Coast Guard watchstanders promptly consulted with the duty flight surgeon, who approved the medevac operation. An HC-130 Hercules aircraft from Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak was dispatched to escort a replacement Jayhawk crew and ensure ongoing support during the mission. The Jayhawk helicopter crew successfully hoisted the 27-year-old individual and safely transferred him to a LifeMed air team waiting in Adak. At the time of the rescue, challenging weather conditions included winds reaching 29 mph and seas measuring 13 feet.
