HOUSTON (Reuters) - U.S. Coast Guard post-Gustav overflights in the Gulf of Mexico found no big damage to platforms, rigs and no oil spills, a spokesman said Tuesday.

"The initial assessment was 'no significant damage' to (production) platforms or (drilling) rigs that they saw," a Coast Guard spokesman said. "They didn't notice any oil leaks or sheens."
