Sikorsky MH-60T, 6008, from CGAS Traverse City, Michigan was part of the flying display at Airshow London 2023. The air station was established in 1945 and has search and rescue (SAR) responsible for all of Lake Michigan and a greater part of Lake Superior and Lake Huron. The air station transitioned from Sikorsky HH-3F Pelicans to HH-60J Jayhawk helicopters in September 1991, to five HH-65A Dolphins in 1995 (when the three HH-60Js were transferred to CGAS Astoria, Oregon), and to three MH-60T Jayhawks in the summer of 2017 to provide better long range all season SAR capability .
