It's analogue rather than digital, but probably won't like magical environments.

Excellent.

I could even find that one of Kessler's companies that provides logistics to offshore oil rigs owns several Sikorsky S-61 helicopters, so having at least one of crews be read-in on the supernatural should be possible.

Does anyone know how difficult it would be to obtain several UH-1 Hueys in the modern US and keep them flying?
