Daysleeper, your info is off just a little. Three Coast Guard crewmembers were rescued after the crash, but they were the Pilot, Co-pilot, and Flight Mechanic (he is the one that runs the hoist--that is what we call it). The Rescue Swimmer (the forth crewman) was already onboard the ship loading ship survivors into the hoist basket, so that is why he was not involved in the crash. You are correct that only one ship crewman survived the crash, as they were not wearing survival suits. The Jayhawk had already made a couple of trips taking the crew off, and the only ones left onboard were the Captain of the sinking ship and the Rescue Swimmer when the crash occured. A wave that broke over the bow splashed up and flamed out the engines, and the crew was then rescued by an HH-65 Dolphin, not another Jayhawk.
