A work little known but seen by all in times of crisis, performed by highly specialized people: pilots, technicians, rescuers, doctors; all of who are trained to work in a team. Each-one of them use their own specialist tools which are 'state of the art'. Their office is anytime, any place, anywhere; from a snow-capped
peak to a busy motorway. Regardless of weather conditions; come rain or shine their soul focus is saving lives 365 days a year. This is what helicopter rescue entails.
The intense training that they experience gives the team the ability to handle delicate, life threatening situations in extreme conditions. The images depict these missions, but what is more difficult to relate is the emotion of the teams involved. However, the reader will understand the gratification that this work gives and that all of the people involved are united by the same passion and a spirit of solidarity.
