In the postwar era, the Coast Guard Station next to SFO was again placed under the Treasury Department and Air Station San Francisco updated its aging aircraft. Much of its fixed-wing fleet was replaced with helicopters beginning in 1947 with a Sikorsky HO3S Dragonfly. The "United States Coast Guard Air Station San Francisco: Honoring the Guardians of the Golden Gate 75th" exhibition of photography is on display pre-security, in the Aviation Museum and Library in the International Terminal. The Aviation Museum and Library is open from Sunday through Friday, 10am to 4:30pm.
