I visited the US Coast Guard Air Base in Elizabeth City, MD. The person who gave me a tour of the base is a Jayhawk pilot. The Jayhawk helicopter is named after a mythical bird. The "jayhawk" name was coined around 1848, blending the noisy, aggressive blue jay with the stealthy sparrow hawk.
All of the rescue work and the missions the coast guard does that keep humans around the planet safe, make me so proud of our USCG Jayhawk pilots. Did you know that they fly long missions aimed at helping people. So the large structures that look like they would hold bombs on either side of the aircraft - those are actually fuel tanks.
