Dedicated to those who go where others fear to fly,

The actual Sea King that took my wireline/logging crew off a North Sea 
Rig  in a stormy winter many years ago.

Missing the derrick by inches and setting down on the helideck of a rig 
in a force 9er is not my idea of fun.
 
These SAR blokes are amazing, as are the US Coast Guard crews working in 
NOLA.

Good luck, and happy landings, to them all.
