This drama series is about a small helicopter unit of the Belgian Air Force based at Koksijde, on the North Sea coast, which specializes in patrolling and rescue operations at sea. The interactions of the various staff (crew, maintenance, command, logistics, communications, administration...) on the base and some of their personal lives, even elsewhere, also provide various story lines.

The new movie "The Guardian" about US Coast Guard rescue swimmers was really awesome, and pretty realistic

Thanks very much for sending another link. Galaxy. .. This time it did work. I was mistaken in thinking it was a documentary. It is a drama series, and looks really , really good. I wish I could watch it over here (with subtitles if necessary) instead of some of the rubbish we get nowadays on television.

Since october 2006 there is a movie based on the TV serie.
