Re: N549RL - San Diego Sheriff Department Copter 11 - Next Fire Helicopter in 2015

CBS 8 did a segment on Copter 11: http://www.cbs8.com/story/30218441/coun ... helicopter

Interesting thing mentioned at the end of the video is that they want to eventually expand the fleet to 5 helicopters. That would definitely be great.

Re: N549RL - San Diego Sheriff Department Copter 11 - Next Fire Helicopter in 2015

No problem! I figured I might as well give the fleet chart a little update (N972PC was still missing from it, too). Cleaned up some formatting and wording while I was there. Hopefully we'll get to see some more of Copter 11 soon. I wonder if it's too soon for it to be at the Miramar Airshow this wee...

Just listened to ATC and watched the flight path a couple minutes ago. I'm sure they're throwing a party over there. :lol:

Re: N549RL - San Diego Sheriff Department Copter 11 - Next Fire Helicopter in 2015

Thanks for the details about FlightAware and Flightradar24. While watching flightradar24.com, I made an educated guess as to what airport it was approaching earlier as it neared Vegas and listened on liveatc.net. My guess ended up being correct and I heard the initial contact with the tower. It's ar...

Sweet!

Where on FlightAware are you finding this? It's still only showing me a single 6 minute flight for N549RL. Is it a paid feature only or something?

Just found this. Appears to be the first photo on the web of N549RL:

Re: N549RL - San Diego Sheriff Department - Next Fire Helicopter in 2015

I'm really surprised to see that someone else follows the status of our department's fleet. Thanks for posting these details! I'm curious to see what designation it gets (following the pattern of 10 and 12, perhaps either 11 or 14?) and what color the horizontal stabilizer gets. On 10 and 12, having...
