U.S. Coast Guard Rescue on Carnival Splendor

Real World Aviation Spotting
1

Hello!

I am currently on a cruise, and a few days ago, we ran into a situation where a crew member needed to be airlifted back to shore. A Helicopter (idk what it is, helicopter geeks please tell me). Anyways, here are some photos and a video I took. (Sorry I couldn’t get better quality they blocked off most of the good spots for safety reasons.) Anyways, hope you find this interesting.

The chopper would be a Eurocopter (Airbus) MH-65 Dolphin.

Cool to see that happen. I hope the crew member was fine.
