The tragic crash of U.S. Coast Guard Helicopter 6535 on February 28, 2012 resulted in the deaths of Lt. Cmdr. Dale Taylor, Lt. j.g. Thomas Cameron, Chief Petty Officer Fernando Jorge, and Petty Officer 3rd Class Andrew Knight. A year after the crash, which occurred in Mobile Bay, Alabama, during a training flight, the U.S. Coast Guard designed this WOD to commemorate the loss of their shipmates.The rep scheme 65 and 35 signifies the number of the helicopter. Hence, it was originally called the 6535 memorial WOD. Within the Coast Guard aviation community, the workout was later changed to the “CG Aviation Workout to Remember” to honor all Coast Guard aviation members lost in the line of duty.

Young Shade showing out with picture perfect technique! This young man has been CrossFitting with us a long time, and he’s always been a stand out kid and athlete. Now he’s showing up to throw down with the adults and as always, it’s just awesome to see. And to top it off, he’s got his hard working mama throwing down with him! So much to love about these pictures and this mom/son duo. 💝💙

And anytime any of our CF Kids are pictured, I have to take a moment to applaud Misty for the incredible program she continues to build, and praise Misty and Carolyn for the top notch coaching they provide to our next generation of CrossFitters. If you haven’t had the chance to see our old gym packed full of our youngest CFHSV athletes throwing down CFHSV style, I promise you, you’re missing out. Our CF Kids rock!

Oh man… this hits me right in the heart! This kid has been working SO hard! He’s a natural athlete and his love of CrossFit keeps growing every day! He’s been gaining skills like crazy and is always coachable and respectful. He’s just an awesome young man with an awesome mom! Shade has no idea how lucky he is to have such an amazing mama bear in his corner! She fosters and encourages every dream he has and she’s right by his side every step of the way. Watching these two throw down together has been so much fun! I know Lisa has to be so proud watching Shade grow and develop into such an awesome person and athlete. Sundays are more fun when these two walk in the door! I can’t wait to watch Shade continue to build a strong foundation and then grow up to be one bad to the bone CrossFitter! Much love to these two!

Shade has always been such a sweet hard working kiddo and he’s growing into a CrossFit machine with Misty. That swing is spot on and the intensity and focus is there too. Shade is a fan favorite and it’s no surprise because of that young lady laying next to him. Lisa has been CrossFitting for years and she’s passed it on to her sweet Shade. This pic says a lot about Shade, Lisa, family, staying fit, and CrossFit. Thanks for showing out you two 😊

Shade says, “Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Aunt (Coach) Misty and Coach Carolyn for coaching me. I like being in the big gym… it’s cool, and I’m excited I’ve gotten new skills.”

I am absolutely in love with these photos, and am so thankful that I can share a WOD a week with this boy of mine. He’s definitely passed me up in skill, but there’s no one else I’d rather cheer on! Thanks for all the kind words, y’all. We love CrossFit Huntsville!
