Part 1 - USN AVR Rescue Boat Restored On Fraser River, B.C.

Restored USN AVR Crash Rescue Boat - Crash Rescue Boat is a name used in the United States to describe military high-speed offshore rescue boats, similar in size and performance to motor torpedo boats, used to rescue pilots and aircrews of crashed aircraft. During World War II these rescue boats, armed with light anti-aircraft guns for self-defense, saw extensive service with the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and United States Army Air Forces (USAAF).

This is my friend's restored beauty. Video is from Fraser River in British Columbia taken in, after or around 2010 I believe.
