HU-25A GUARDIAN-LUGGAGE TAG

Guardian number 2115 was constructed and delivered to the United States Coast Guard in 1983. 2115 served with Coast Guard Air Stations San Diego and Cape Cod before retiring in 2001. Its missions included search and rescue operations, maritime surveillance, and law enforcement. With a range of up to 2,000 nautical miles and the ability to stay airborne for up to six hours, it was well-suited for conducting long-range patrols over vast ocean waters. Equipped with a variety of sensors - including radar, infrared cameras, and other advanced avionics -  the Guardian had the ability to locate and track vessels in all types of weather conditions. The Guardian was also used to enforce U.S. laws and treaties, such as interdiction of drug shipments and illegal immigration.
