CG-1299 was a United States Coast Guard HH-19G Sikorsky HO4S helicopter in service at AIRSTA Salem, Massachusetts. The helicopter was on a search and rescue mission for the crew of a downed National Guard jet aircraft off the coast of Massachusetts. A heavy fog moved in over the area and forced the pilot, LTJG Harold W. Wooley, to abort the mission and return to the mainland. He elected to land at Logan Airport rather than return to Salem as visibility dropped to “zero-zero.” He made an instrument approach to the airport and the approach control gave him a radar approach to one of the runways. The controller then informed Wooley that he was over the runway. Wooley put the helicopter down but unfortunately he was a few feet short of the runway and into the water surrounding the runway. The helicopter flipped over and sank. Kohan was trapped under the helicopter’s litter and could not escape the sinking craft. He drowned and his body was recovered by divers. The two other crewmen managed to egress the aircraft and were rescued.
