Rescue Air One
by Kevin L. Kitchens (klkitchens)

Camera:

Olympus E-500

Location:

Atlanta, Georgia

United States of America

Photographer Notes:

From Atlanta Medical Center, Rescue Air One lifts off to retrieve another patient needing transfer. Two of my nieces were in a bad auto accident on Thursday April 5 and were in a different hospital. This same copter, however, brought their mother from several counties away to receive treatment. She was released April 7 and while waiting for her at the front of the hospital to take her to my nieces, I was able to capture these brave pilots off to do their duty. Captured with 40-150 kit lens.

Wonderful action capture Kevin. I hope that all are recovering nicely.

Greta shot Kevin! Those of us in rural america would have a much higher mortality rate without these wonderful souls....bless their lifesaving hearts!

I hope everybody is getting along OK now, Kevin? Amazing how those pilots can hover so close to the power lines, isn't it? Nice sharp action capture...and ditto on what Gretchen wrote!

nice shot-- but not as pretty as the USCG copters-- still a very welcome sight
