Christoph 2

Machine-translated from the German article

Christoph 2 is the call sign of the civil protection helicopter of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, stationed at the BGU in Frankfurt am Main. Air rescue in Frankfurt am Main, or the history of "Christoph 2", began in January 1962 with a motion by the Frankfurt city council providing for the "procurement of a helicopter for patient transport". However, despite the efforts of the Frankfurt am Main fire brigade under fire chief and visionary Ernst Achilles, only 16 urgent transfer flights could be carried out by 1967 in cooperation with the Bundeswehr and the US armed forces.
