Just had Rescue 65 doing laps of my area for the past hour or so, looking for an old lady. Couldn't seem to pick it up on the usual aviation band (108-138). Can anybody enlighten me in terms of what I should be tuning in to?
I just happened to look at the flight tracker and was wondering myself why it had done dozens of orbits of the bush. I'm going to assume Polair isn't available (does Rescue 65 have FLIR?)

From what I could see (no lights shining directly on it) it had some pretty bulky equipment on the left side with 3 red lights around it. Possibly it? It's flown off now in a NE direction, can still faintly hear it (it's a beautiful sounding helicopter).

Anything I say is my opinion, and has nothing to do with/does not reflect the views of anyone I was/am/will be involved with/employed by/volunteer for/associated with. There, I think that should cover it!
