New Aeromed Helo in Rockford?

[kevino]

Is anyone aware of an Air Methods aeromedical helicopter based at Cottonwood Airport on the northwest side of Rockford? Tail number is N530LN, and it flew over my house on its way to Vertiport Chicago this morning. Looking at recent flight history, it appears to be based out of that airport.

I'd like to figure out what frequency (or STARCOM21 talkgroup) it's using.

Thanks in advance....

N530LN is the Air Methods helo that's been in Rockford since 2017. Not sure what it would be doing over at Cottonwood, but that maybe it moved over there temporarily or permanently?

N530LN is REACT. They have been alternating use of the tail number 530LN and 987RH since they've been partnering with AirMethods. Still based across the street from MercyHealth's Javon Bea Memorial Hospital in Downtown Rockford

They use Cottonwood for training often.
