A print on off-white paper in brown and black ink of helicopters flying.

The print in brown and black ink shows a line of six helicopters approaching from the right rear against a sky of swirling and wavy lines. Six more helicopters are dotted across the sky from the right to the left side of the picture plane. The sky meets the earth near the bottom of the print. In the lower left corner, a small figure is seen open mouthed and eyes closed in the center of a circle with a cross. A figure lies on its back to the right with knees raised and right arm outstretched.
