Sikorsky Mk. 41 Sea King



When I listened to a presentation about SAR from Sönke Nielsen of the famous MFG 5 (Marienefliegergeschwader 5) based at Kiel Holtenau at that time, I decided to do a drawing of the Mk. 41 Sea King of the German Navy. Navy SAR aviation is a very special task which can only be executed by the best and most experienced pilots. Poor weather conditions, strong winds and often darkness seems to make it impossible to help people in need. But those crews over and over show that they are absolutely willing to save lifes - no matter how bad the conditions may be. Hats off to those brave crews!
