I think Careflights 412s will be around for a little while in QLD.
Wonder what will happen to NSP, she should end up in a museum given her long history here, she even carried the POPE as her first mission in South America before being sold to the NSCA. The NSCA pilot who delivered her to LTV from Bell Brisbane (Ray Dousset) was coincidently the person who came up with the Helimed callsign, he was one of the initial pilots flying first the Hughes 500s, and later the longranger VH-BJY (big bird) before the popemobile was aquired.
