A U. S. Coast Guard HH-65 ?Dolphin? helicopter conducts a dramatic joint rescue of a stranded kayaker found adrift and taking on water, approximately 100 miles off the coast of Hawaii. A U.S. Navy P-3C ?Orion? maritime patrol and antisubmarine warfare plane assigned to the "Golden Eagles" of Patrol Squadron Nine (VP-9), spotted the kayaker who had braved 10 - 15 foot waves for four days. The P-3C stayed on station coordinating the arrival of a rescue team from Barbers Point U.S. Coast Guard Air Station in Hawaii. Aviation Warfare Systems Operator 1st Class Gary L. Phillips was one of two VP-9 crewmembers who spotted the kayaker while conducting a training mission in the area. U. S. Navy photo by Aviation Warfare Systems Operator 1st Class Gary L. Phillips.
