New EMS Helicopter?

Postby groundskeeperwilly » Sat Feb 3 2007, 04:02

Gday from a newbie slapper!

Recently heard that a new EMS operation has started in Toowoomba, QLD.

Anyone have any details?

I believe its RACQ CareFlight with their AS350BA from the Gold Coast, however, as in similar start up operations, whenever their primary aircraft, the B412 Classic, is down for maint, the Squirrel from Toowomba will be drawn back to the Gold Coast.

As well as Careflights AS350.
Surf have a Squirrel on the Gold Coast
Energex have a B206L at Maroochydore and a B206? at Bundaberg.

In NSW, Westpac have a B407 (2nd machine) in Newcastle and until yesterday had one in Tamworth as well.
