The air station operates a fleet of three MH-60T Jayhawk helicopters to execute missions throughout the Great Lakes and cover a coastline of over 10\,000 miles. \n\nCAPT Webb hails from Muskegon\, MI and transferred here from Air Station Atlantic City\, NJ where he served as both the Executive Officer and Operations Officer. He was second-in-command in the oversight of 11 MH-65D helicopters and two distinct mission sets: Search and Rescue and Rotary Wing Air Intercept (RWAI). He was tasked with providing two Search and Rescue aircraft for operations along the Eastern Seaboard\; two RWAI alert aircraft at the National Capital Region Air Defense Facility in Washington D.C.\; and one\, on-demand\, RWAI alert aircraft for air defense of the President of the United States anywhere across the nation.

He was then assigned to Aviation Training Center Mobile\, AL in 2003 and served in the H65 Standardization Division and the Aviation Special Missions Division where he was instrumental in the creation of the RWAI mission. His follow-on assignments were at the HC-130J Aircraft Project Office\, Air Station Elizabeth City\, NC\, and the HC-130J Standardization Division. In 2012\, he was assigned as the Executive Assistant to the NORAD and U.S. Northern Command Chief of Staff\, Peterson Air Force Base\, CO until his transfer to Atlantic City in 2015. \n\nHe has amassed over 7000 flight hours in four military aircraft and various models of each: the UH-1H\, UH- 60A/L\, HH-65A/B/C\, MH-65C/D\, MH-60T\, and HC-130J. \n\nHaving served in a variety of theaters with numerous deployments\, CAPT Webb?s awards\, badges\, and decorations are consistent with those of service members who have had the honor to serve the United States for over 29 years. He is blissfully married to Lisa\, another Michigander from Grand Rapids\, and they have two adult sons\, Daniel and Austin.\n\n\n\n\n\nCommander Christopher L.

During his last year in this assignment\, Commander Wright served as the Safety Program Management Division Chief where he managed the post mishap analysis process for all major Coast Guard accidents and oversaw Coast Guard-wide safety policy\, risk management\, assurance\, and promotional activities. \n\nAs a Coast Guard Helicopter Flight Examiner\, Instructor Pilot\, and Aircraft Commander\, Commander Wright has accumulated over 3\,200 flight hours in the MH-60 flying homeland security\, law enforcement\, fisheries\, and search and rescue operations on both the East and West coasts. Operational assignments include Air Station Cape Cod\, MA where he served as the senior Flight Safety Officer\, and Air Station Clearwater\, FL where he supported migrant interdiction and counter drug operations throughout the Caribbean.
