Image title	ASTORIA, Ore. (Aug. 4) --- The nose of an HH-60 JAYHAWK helicopter at Coast Guard Air Station Astoria. Manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft Division of United Technologies in Stratford, 42 medium-range Jayhawk HH-60J helicopters are operating in the Coast Guard. With its twin T700-GE-401C engines, the Jayhawk can fly up to 300 miles offshore, remain on scene 45 minutes, hoist six people on board, and return to its point of origin with a safe fuel reserve. The H-60 will fly comfortably at 140 knots for sixto seven hours. Though normally stationed ashore, the Jayhawk can be carried aboard 270-foot WMEC and 378-foot WHEC Coast Guard cutters. The Jayhawk's state-of-the art radar, radio, and navigation equipment enables the helicopter to carry out the CoastGuard's search and rescue, law enforcement, military readiness and marine environmental protection missions efficiently and effectively.
