Want to join the Butte County SO' s SAR Team?

This takes you to the Butte County Sheriff's SAR Team Home page

N487BC is a Bell OH-58A helicopter/ US Army number 70-15107

From the pic it has a white light Night Sun light and does not appear to have FLIR of any kind. Without NVG's....I can understand them waiting till daylight. Even with NVG's...a search at night without FLIR would be limited in value but still of some worth using.
