Recent News Medevac in Kiel Canal
On May 19, 2013, a Seaking of the former Navy Flight Squadron 5 in Kiel-Holtenau medevaced a passenger of the "Aidacara" only one hour after the ship had left the Ostsee Quay in Kiel and entered the Kiel Canal westbound destined for Bergen short past 6 p.m. One passenger had collapsed and was treated in the ship's hospital where a medevac was recommended. The Seaking was by chance nearby after having transported a patient from the German Westcoast to the University Hospital in Kiel and hovered above the cruise ship, which was near Sehestedt then, within a few minutes. A crewman was winched onto its deck, and the patient prepared to be transferred onto the helicopter. Within short time he was hoisted and taken to the University Hospital too.      (4 days ago, by Timsen )
