Rescue 65 Frequencies

Post by Clontarf[X] »

Hi Guys,

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?

Cheers :)

Best to listen to 6AR for updates.

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?)
"VKI, NJ050 will you be attending the job?"

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).
