The HH 65 Dolphin

The HH 65 Dolphin was first introduced into the US Coast Guard fleet in 1979.  The mission of this medevac-capable aircraft include homeland security patrols, drug interdiction, ice breaking, military readiness, pollution control, and SAR.  Three variants of have seen service.  The A model was replaced starting in 2001 with the B model, which had improved avionics.  The C model was introduced in 2004, having further improvements to the avionics and more powerful and reliable tuboshart engines.

HH-65s serve in 17 Coast Guard Air Stations, at HITRON in Jacksonville, FL, and can be deployed on medium and high endurance cutters.  The HH-65 is not capable of water landings, but has several unique autopilot features.  It can complete an unaided approach to the water and bring the aircraft into a stable 50 ft. hover, and automatically fly search patterns, freeing the crew for other tasks. The Coast Guard maintains a fleet of 90 active aircraft with 12 in reserve.
