About Striker
Striker is an active-duty HC-144B pilot who documents the raw reality of search and rescue and daily flight operations through personal, handwritten logs delivered straight to your mailbox. Each dispatch serves as your direct connection to the flight deck, capturing the grit and spirit of missions from the pilot’s seat of a Coast Guard airframe. These are first-hand accounts of the "stick and rudder" flying that happens when the sensors go dark and the mission gets real.
