Coast Guard Air Station San Diego

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CGAS San Diego is a U.S. Coast Guard station in downtown San Diego, CA. The Coast Guard station is across street from the San Diego International Airport. It has a helicopter landing pad, hangars, and a dock with several motorboats. The air station is physically separated from the rest of the airfield, such that USCG fixed-wing aircraft must cross a busy, 6-lane city street to reach the runway; street light activation opens the locked gates to the airfiled and the air station, and also stops traffic while aircraft are transversing the street.
