Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem co-piloted a C-130 surveillance aircraft during her visit to US Coast Guard service members stationed at Air Station Kodiak in Alaska.
This visit was focused on supporting personnel stationed over 1,300 miles from the continental United States. And it gave her a chance to learn about the security challenges in the 49th state.
“Got the chance to fly a C-130 out of our U.S. Coast Guard base in Kodiak, Alaska,” Noem wrote on X/Twitter. “Air Station Kodiak is essential to our mission success for reconnaissance and search & rescue in Alaska and the Arctic.”
