N951LB — live tracking every few seconds while it is in the air, and who this aircraft is the rest of the time.
Sibling LASD Aero Bureau Super Puma to N952JH, sharing the Air Rescue 5 callsign + hoist-platform role. The two airframes rotate across patrol so either can show up on a given high-angle mountain or water rescue out of the Long Beach Aero Bureau base.
We have recorded Air Rescue 5 over 76 Los Angeles neighborhoods, 505 passes in all — most recently over Signal Hill on 23 August.
Counted from this site's own observations of the public ADS-B feed, not from a flight plan — a pass is a visit we watched, and the list is what we have seen, not everywhere this aircraft has been.
