That was my first thought too. The keep an HH-65 stationed at KDCA, Washington National Airport. I believe it comes from a USCG facility in Atlantic City, NJ.

By the way, I rode a Yellow Line train home tonight. The passenger behind me referred to the airport as "National Airport" more than once, and the train operator referred to the stop as "Washington National Airport."

As well they should have, because that's what it is. No one who grew up here calls it "******."

Back to the USCG. They'll have their hands full tomorrow. They're going to be out on the Potomac River on 41-foot boats.
