so there is no designated search radar ( just one co shared with the piolts for weather and only covers 160 degrees), is it true Aerorescue are still operating under Pearl's AOC and dont have their own? meaning at night and in crap weather ( where murphys law dictates things will go wrong) they have to drop rafts at LSALT? so instead of dropping at 1, 2, 3, 500 they have to drop at 1500 and chances are the cloud will be between LSALT and the ocean/land so u have to drop through cloud?

**not fishing for anything here at all but want to seriously know. i may be completely wrong here and only curious if its true**
