This is GIF animation of a favourite Calvin and Hobbes strip I made way back in 2002. It's absolutely amazing the way Bill Watterson creates expression and motion in this medium. If you just put it together, you can see it moving like magic.

J.M.S.D.F. HSS-1
From Wikipedia:
"The Sikorsky H-34 Choctaw (Company designation S-58) was a military helicopter originally designed by American aircraft manufacturer Sikorsky for the United States Navy for service in the anti-submarine warfare (ASW) role.
Sikorsky H-34s have since served mostly as medium transports on every continent with the armed forces of twenty-five countries - from combat in Algeria, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and throughout Southeast Asia, to saving flood victims, recovering astronauts, fighting fires, and carrying presidents. As one of the last piston-powered helicopter designs before its replacement by turbine-powered types such as the UH-1 Huey and CH-46 Sea Knight, it would see a remarkably long run of 2,108 H-34s produced between 1953 and 1970.It would see extended use when adapted to turbine power as the Westland Wessex and the later S-58T. The British did not retire the Wessex until 2003 as the main transport helicopter; it was replaced by the Aérospatiale Puma."
Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF) used these helicopters for rescue and anti-submarine purposes.
Here are the originals:
