Watchstanders of the USCG Sector Anchorage received a report on July 5 at about 4:15 p.m. from a friend of the pilot that a P-18 Super Cub aircraft with two people aboard crashed just above the high tide line near Montague Island in the Gulf of Alaska.
The USCG deployed an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from the Kodiak air station in Alaska and arrived at the scene just after 6:45 p.m., officials said.
Upon arrival, first responders found the two survivors and transported them to Cordova for treatment. The duo is reportedly in stable condition and no major injuries were announced….
