Classic 1A22 helicopter, inbound 20 , listening from Moab.
00:04
Do you have a copy?
00:06
On air ground one.
00:10
Yeah, go ahead, Jake.
00:15
Hey, we just departed.
00:17
We have an ETA of about 5 min to the given coordinates.
00:25
Do you think you can tell us?
00:29
Yeah, the coordinates.
00:32
So just east of those coordinates on top of the cliff, that's where he was seen last.
00:37
You'll see us from the highway.
00:43
East of the coordinates, top of the cliff, near your vehicles down below.
00:50
Four.
00:57
One alpha two two, hey Brody.
00:59
If we make contact with this person visually, I'm assuming you want us to land, check him out, bring him down to where you guys are or to a hospital, whatever he needs.
01:08
Is that correct?
01:15
Stay straight to the hospital.
01:17
He's been up there since last night.
01:20
No food, no water.
01:21
Diabetic, has heart issues.
01:23
He was yelling for water when they last chatted.
01:30
Okay, good copy.
01:31
We have some of that to give if he's the candidate for it.
01:35
Okay, we'll keep you posted.
01:37
And we do have handheld radios.
01:38
I can talk to you on air to ground one as well.
01:46
Thanks.

Friend said that she'd take her home.

We'll be tonight.

Over. 1558.

Classic one alpha 22.
02:20
Go ahead.
02:24
Hey, so there's an outcropping just north of Hole N' The Rock.
02:29
The next rock outcropping that almost touches the highway.
02:32
We think he's on top of that, so that's east southeast of us on the highway.
02:40
Okay, good copy.
02:41
Any clothing that you're looking for other than a guy just waving his arms?
02:48
Go ahead. He was wearing a black shirt over his head.
02:51
Go
02:55
ahead, repeat. You're on. Thank you.

You cut out.
03:22
10-14,

we released the ambulance since Classic is on scene.

They had another call come up in Canyonlands.
03:31
10-4, 1601.
03:42
How high up on this cliff do you think he is?
03:49
Go in a couple hundred yards.
03:51
He was more towards off the saddle of that where it starts to rise to the higher cliff.
04:00
Okay, good copy.
04:17
We made visual contact.
04:23
Excellent. Can you land?
