Calibre Aviation in Emerald (Queensland)
For those interested, I managed to spend a bit of time at Calibre Aviation in Emerald this week. The company was formally known as Webb Helicopters/Central (Qld) Aviation.
At their landing site/hangars, I noted pretty much their entire fleet of choppers... Robinson R-44 VH-HSF Bell 206 VH-EWI Williams UH-1H "Huey" VH-UEE Aerospatiale AS.350B Squirrel VH-WEB Aerospatiale AS.350B Squirrel VH-NBN Kawasaki BK-117 VH-BKZ (still in Child Flight - NSW Ambulance Service - colours) Robinson R-22s - VH-HRJ and VH-LTZ which are primarily used for heli-mustering. Meanwhile at nearby Emerald Airport, Calibre Aviation's PA-32-300 VH-AMJ is stored. Calibre recently played host to Sikorsky S-61 heavy-lift helicopter N45917 on loan from Heli-Aust to lift several power units into a nearby mine site. I was fortunate enough to get some photos - they are on my blog: http://tinyurl.com/3ltvb2r Cheers Damian |
