CG aerial survey of Barry aftermath

Rear Adm. Paul Thomas, commander of the Eighth Coast Guard District in New Orleans surveyed the impact of Hurricane Barry along the Mississippi River near Plaquemines Parish and Morgan City, La., on July 15. Early preparation and communication between federal, state, local and industry partners helped minimize the potential for damage. The admiral – along with Master Chief Petty Officer Heath Jones, and aviation maintenance technician Petty Officer 1st Class Adam McNeil of the CG Aviation Training Center in Mobile, Ala. - surveyed the impact from the opened rear platform of the aircraft.
