US Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules Paper Model

Spring and Summer are great times to go boating, but of course the more boats, the more boating accidents. Recently in the news there have been a couple of possible fake distress calls to the US Coast Guard. This of course required a huge expenditure of time and effort for the Coast Guard to go hunting for these non-existing ships. Hopefully those responsible will be caught and prosecuted.
