Careflight Helicopters

[Jayden Laing]

Yeh thanks Greg. yes CHC have a helicopter at the orange base & i believe it is a Bell 412 Classic VH-BZH. The helicopter is well maintained for her age. i had the opportunity to check VH-BZH out at Parkes Hospital & i must say, she is a good chopper.

OK, Greg and Jayden are correct - the A119 was based at Orange but has been replaced by a 412, and the current HIRT primary is an A109. The BK117 is apparently still around and is used as a backup to the HIRT machine since the HIRT trial was extended to the Central Coast.

Cheers

Thanks Andrew for that
