Coast Guard Helicopter Lands on Rescue Mission to Save 11 Canadian Fliers from Labrador Wilds. A Coast Guard helicopter presents a spider-like appearance as it lands on the ice and snow of North Labrador to evacuate the first of 11 fliers who were marooned in the icy wilderness following two plane crashes. After rescue attempts by plane had failed, the helicopter was dismantled in New York and flown to Goose Bay, Labrador. In an Army Transport Command Plane. Reassembled, the tiny mercy craft made 11 flights to the crash scene, each time moving one victim to a weather station 32 miles away. In
