The U.S. Coast Guard rescued a pilot who crashed near Shelikof Strait on Sunday afternoon.
The pilot reportedly crashed his single-engine Super Cub airplane while attempting to land in deep snow on Hallo Glacier Lake, about 75 miles northwest of Kodiak, according to a Jan. 23 news release.
A Kodiak MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew received a mayday call from the pilot.
The Jayhawk crew lowered an aviation survival technician to help right the aircraft and transported the uninjured pilot to Kodiak.
