Captured during a rescue exercise in the Wicklow Mountains National Park using callsign "Rescue116", this 2006 built S-92A is acutally one of five operated by CHC Ireland. Four operational bases are maintained on behalf of the Irish Coast Guard and strategically located around the irish coastal cities of Dublin, Waterford, Shannon and Sligo. On each base, a crew of six people (2 pilots, 2 rescue specialists and 2 mechanics on the ground) provide a 24/7 SAR and HEMS service. To keep proficient, many different scenarios over the sea but also in mountain rescue operations are constantly trained.
