Semper Paratus

[falcon012]

The HH-65 “Dolphin” is one of the mainstays of the US Coast Guard's Search and Rescue force.This versatile helicopter has proven itself well adapted to the role. Stationed throughout the coastal United States, the Dolphin and her her crews are called upon numerous times each year to rescue those in trouble at sea. In any weather and at any time the men and women of the US Coast Guard unselfishly brave the most perilous of conditions so that others may live. This dramatic print depicts the “Dolphin” in the act of rescuing a sole survivor in the water and is named after the Coast Guard motto, "Semper Paratus" - "Always Ready".

Oops, I posted in the wrong section. This should be moved to the 2D section.

Moved :)

I just love your depictions of bodies of water, you are really good at it! This piece is very nice and indeed dramatic as well, and a good tribute I think.

Thanks Joep.

I updated the helicopter to reflect the current "C" version in use with the Coast Guard. It features the longer nose.
