Búsqueda y Salvamento (SAR, del inglés Search and Rescue) es un servicio para organizar y dirigir operaciones de búsqueda y salvamento derivados de accidentes aéreos o catástrofes naturales fundamentalmente dentro del espacio aéreo español.

Actualmente está compuesto por la Jefatura de Búsqueda y Salvamento, tres RCC (del inglés Rescue Coordination Center), ubicados en las Bases Aéreas de Madrid, Baleares y Canarias, además de tres escuadrones, el 801, 802 y 803 del Ejército del Aire.
Dispone entre otros medios de helicópteros Eurocopter AS 332 Super Puma y Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma, además de aviones, de los cuales actualmente está en servicio el modelo CASA CN-235 100M VIGMA, habiendo contado previamente con aeronaves del tipo Grumman HU 16 Albatross, CASA C 212 Aviocar y Fokker F-27 200 MAR.

Great place to photograph helicopters, they teach pilots how to fly there, so one taking off & landing all day

When there is a bad accident or someone is very sick out here in the desert Mercy Air comes out to pick them up and transport them to the hospital. When they come out here they land on the baseball field that is right next door to my house.
It was at our mall picking up an old air conditioner from the roof and then putting a new one back up. It was getting a lot of attention. People were all around the mall taking pictures with their phones. That map location shown is not correct.
Bell UN-1N Iroquois (212) s/n 31067 (1969) USAF 69-6661 1st Helicopter Squadron (HS) 89th AW, Andrews AFB, MD @ Thunder over Michigan Air Show, Detroit / Willow Run Airport, MI
Just a shot of a helicopter just taken off from a garden over on the other side of the railway line - they do have big gardens over there . It always strikes me how helicopters dip or lean over to one side when taking off or landing .
Grab shot having just heard it start up and luckily the camera with the telephoto is kept handy for diving out to capture aircraft going over that are of interest . Trouble is when the Spitfire goes over it has gone by the time I get outside - it ofen passes over on it's way to Blackbushe or Kemble .
A Hughes 369D type 550 I am led to believe and it was first registered in 1982 !!
This is a massively rushed shot as in the middle of doing something else I heard the helicopter starting up and realised it was in the garden of a house on the other side of the nearby railway line - there are some pretty big houses over there !! Anyway , but the time I had got outside and spotted where it was going to appear it left little or no time to get anything , once above the tree line there was only seconds and it was behind a neighbours roof and it was away !!
Therefore , not as crisp a shot as I would like . I think my panning needs a lot more practice and for rapid shots I think I prefer the 70 - 300mm Canon lens as it is very quick focussing and a good all round lens , just a bit short of reach compared to the !00 - 400mm Sigma used here ( because that was the lens on the camera !! ) .

Shot from the ground laying on my back as the pilot took passes over me.
Fairly dangerous as they were low to the ground and the pilot was being repeatedly strobed in the face.

Pocket Wizard triggered SB-800 on the dash gelled 1 CTB and another behind the pilot gelled 1 CTO.
I kinda hate this one just because it shows me how sharp the others aren't. It was tough because you have to shoot at 1/50th - 1/100th to get good rotor blur. And they were moving fast...
I like how this looks air-to-air. It's not. Perry just dropped the nose and did some low, fast fly-bys, which made it look as if we were up there with him because there is no reference point to reveal the dipped nose.

recently I needed a helicopter as a birthday present. luckily the Italian convention was just a week before my deadline, there I met Gerwin Sturm and Gerwin can design basically anything you ask him for. he's a wonder :-))
so he whipped up this cute little helicopter and taught it to me. For the rendition in this photo I glued red tissue paper onto the silver side of a 35cm of foil paper. it folded like a charm ;-)
Word is this was the last WTI for the CH-53D, which is too bad. Looks like this was a recent HMH-362 bird, as the marking on the nose looks like a scrubbed-off "Ugly Angels" logo. Yuma, Arizona.
Saw the helicopter coming across the river as I was 'birding' and quickly changed settings so I could pan at the slower shutter speed getting the blades in action. Captured hand held.
N17756 - Sikorsky S-55QT WhisperJet - PAPILLON Grand Canyon Helicopters
at Grand Canyon Airport (GCN)
c/n 55186 (V55-400T) - built in 1972 as a CH-19E
The S-55QT (Quiet Technology) conversion was started by Orlando Helicopter in the mid 1980s and continued by Vertical Aviation Technology (VAT) in the 1990s, at the request of Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters who needed quieter helicopters for their sight-seeing flights. It features a 5-blade rotor instead of the standard 3-blade one, revised engine intakes and exhausts, and noise-suppressing engine covers. It also has extra large windows to improve the passenger's view. The conversion was certified in December 1999.
Only 2 helicopters were ever converted to this standard by Vertical Aviation of Sanford, Florida
