Christoph 26, Medical rescue helicopter base at Nordwest-Krankenhaus Sanderbusch, Sande, Germany
Christoph 26 operates an Airbus H145 helicopter from its modern station, providing emergency medical services across the East Frisian Islands and surrounding regions.
The rescue base commenced operations in November 1979 as Christopher Friesland before ADAC Luftrettung assumed control and renamed it Christoph 26 in 1983.
The crew members wear custom patches that incorporate regional elements, medical symbols, and aviation insignia to represent their connection to the North Sea area.
The helicopter maintains round-the-clock operations with night vision capabilities, reaching emergency locations within two minutes and transporting patients to appropriate medical facilities.
The station features a rescue winch system for retrieving patients from difficult terrain, particularly useful during missions to the East Frisian Islands.
