[MilCom] RESCUE 42 - Sept 26, 2007, Regina Sask. Canada

[Rob Berezowski]

Greetings everyone,

RESCUE 42 was heard being called by Winnipeg Centre ATC on 123.8 simulcast 
with 134.325, without an answer, 0450 UTC Sept 26/07 (UTC day). The 
controller then asked a Kelowna FLIGHTCRAFT (civilian cargo aircraft) to 
relay to RESCUE 42 and ask them to call him on 123.8. There was still no 
response from RESCUE 42. The FLIGHTCRAFT pilot offered to call RESCUE 42 
on Guard (121.5) to see if he would answer. At this point, the controller 
said not to bother, and then made some comment that he thought RESCUE 42 
was on the right frequency.

I did not hear anything further regarding RESCUE 42. I'm guessing this is 
a CC-130 aircraft on a rescue mission, but that's just a guess. I have not 
heard on the news about any searches or rescues, so I do not know what 
mission RESCUE 42 was on. I'm thinking he was operating over Saskatchewan 
though.

Earlier in the evening, I did hear CANFORCE 3905 checking in with Winnipeg 
Centre ATC, but I did not get type of aircraft, location, or destination, 
just a check in with ATC. This may or may not be related to RESCUE 42.

Regards,

Rob
Regina, Saskatchewan
