Air-Sea Rescue off Denmark
From the deck of the Holland-America cruise ship 'Rotterdam' during our journey in 2009 between Oslo and Rotterdam. A seriously ill passenger was transferred from the ship to mainland hospital by this helicopter and its brave crew; we were off the coast of Denmark so I suppose that's where they were from. Interestingly, although it was a windy day and the ship maintained cruising speed throughout, the helicopter was able to hold its position for the 10 minutes or so it took to complete this transfer.
Map location is very approximate.
