Search on for a helicopter traveling Calgary -Sicamous, presumed to have crashed east of Revelstoke. Had modeS, can't see it in Flightradar. Single ELT ping near Roger's Pass, manually activated? Hope it wasn't yet one more without sat-tracking.

I believe its a 206.
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience often comes from bad judgment.
Re: Helicopter missing near Revelstoke
Crash located. Sole occupant pilot deceased. Moving on to lessons learned. Confirm US registered 206.
Re: Helicopter missing near Revelstoke
What in hell could be so important in Sicamous that you would risk almost certain, in this case certain, death to fly a 206 there in darkness and rain in snow. The Cormorant turned around during the response to the ELT ping at Malakwa for awful weather. I talked to someone there, but it was rooftop low and scared the shite out of a lot of folks on the ground.
