Welcom to the TRON, the USCG's Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON). The MH-65 unit specializing in Airborn Use of Force (AUF) for the counter-drug mission out of Jacksonville FL. On the show we have two incredible women, LCDR Kelly McKenzie, the current AOPS and LT Rachel Rychtanek, a mission commander for the unit.

We get into the best beer, missions, SAR and other stories from one of the CG's largest and busiest airstations.

We plan to release shows on a bi-weekly basis. On Fridays of course!
