Hey guys,
I was just wondering,has anything happened to the old NRMA Careflight choppers. Have both the BK117 & Augusta A119 Koala choppers been sold to an overseas buyer or are they still in Australia waiting to be sold. Thanks for your help |

G'day,
I understand they are still operating out of Westmead as part of Head injury retrieval unit... Hear them call up on ATC police an ambo radios as Careflight HIRT... Hope this helps... Cheers |

THE HIRT is still running, there was a big article in Australian Aviation not that long ago (Andrew) I think they want to put another chopper on to do more HIRT to.

Both are being used as far as I am aware. The Koala is the HIRT chopper and the BK is on back up to the CHC 412's

So HIRT is operated by the A119 Koala. I thought it was operated by the Augusta A109E Power (VH-IAG). I may be wrong. please correct me if i am.
