Description
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".

Outstanding job Mark. I've been there a few times in the pilot seat. This painting really captures the dreadful weather that we have to work in out there. You really hit the nail on the head. It's too bad you can't show how truly DARK it is too. Great portfolio! Keep up the excellent work!

Thanks Matt. This one is actually a companion piece to the Jayhawk one. Both pieces have been very popular with the Coast Guard. I can only imagine what it must be like out there in such conditions. Thank you for your service.
