Three of the Coast Guard crew members from Elizabeth City whose helicopter went down in Utah returned to Eastern Carolina this weekend.

They were aboard an MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter that went down near Salt Lake City Wednesday.

They returned to their home base at Air Station Elizabeth City aboard an HC-130J Jayhawk aircraft Saturday.

Cmdr. Patrick Shaw, 37, of Juneau, Alaska, Petty Officer 3rd Class Darren M. Hicks, 22, of Oroville, Washington, and Petty Officer 3rd Class Edward Sychra, 26, of Blanchard, Idaho returned.

The four men that were aboard the accompanying helicopter also came back to Eastern Carolina Saturday.

Capt. John Hardin, commanding officer of Air Station Elizabeth City, the home base of the Jayhawk that crashed Wednesday in Wasatch County, and friends and family were on hand for the emotional homecoming.

Wonder what the Jayhawks crews from Elizabeth City do? Check out the life-saving story below about one of their missions.

Coast Guard crews from the East medically evacuated a 5-year-old boy and his parents from an oil tanker approximately 250 nautical miles East of Bermuda.

The crew of the tank ship Axel Spirit called authorities Sunday and reported a boy onboard was experiencing symptoms of appendicitis and needed help.

Due to the tanker's distance from land, an Air Station Elizabeth City Jayhawk Helicopter crew had to be pre-staged in Bermuda Sunday in order to rescue the boy Monday when the ship was within range.

After a successful rescue, the boy was taken to a hospital in Bermuda.
