Anyone know what QF1576 VH-NXE is doing? They're doing holding patterns at FL120 just off Sydney, after taking off for SYD-HVB.

It was! First time I've been up and close with any Chinook, have seen them in the air but that's it.

Returned to SYD, so burning off fuel. Only two reasons for that, one is medical and the other is a tech issue.

End of an era with the 412's operating the service for just over thirty years at LTV as Helimed1. VH-VAB's predecessor, the ex NSCA VH-NSP operated what was probably the most notable mission, the rescue of sailors from the yacht Winston Churchill during the 1998 Sydney to Hobart.

Bit late, but NXE has just come out of Heavy Maintenance in Canberra. Apparently it had a problem and returned to SYD. YQT is now in for its Check

Common sound in Wagga as well, even when it landed on the Duke of Kent Oval helipad. Though hear it more with the test landing they did the other morning on the new hospital's helipad.

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.
