PC-24 - The First RFDS Ambulance Jet Arrives in Australia
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The first medevac-equipped PC-24 was handed over to our loyal customer of many years, the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia (RFDS Western Operations) in November 2018. It landed on Australian soil for the first time on 2 December, in Broome.
Configured especially for patient transport, this PC-24 was developed in close consultation with the RFDS to fully meet the latter’s needs. Handed over in November 2018, it is in service with the Western Australia section from the base in Broome. A second PC-24 is based in Perth-Jandakot. 2019 will also see the first PC-24 go into service with the fleet operated by the Central Australian section in Adelaide.

"with our Airplanes" - feel the justified sense of pride and contribution in that, spoken by Oscar Schwenk, Pilatus. Congratulations.
Thank you Pilatus Aircraft Ltd
Mission of Mercy paid for by blood money but then if you got injured while you are at Walkabout Creek and need emergency transportation, the last thing on your mind is who's paying or how they made their money. Good on the Flying doctors and all other personal and organisations involved in this mission. Good on Rio Tinto too, what matters is the lives saved and touched through their contribution.
Great partnership, proud to be Swiss-Australian
Wonderful. Thank you RFDS
Beautiful story... keep up your amazing work
This lady speaks very well!
A GREAT airplane!!!!!!!
And guys, Remember to donate to the RFDS here down under... All donations help..
The Pilatus PC-24 is a very nice aircraft, VWO is commonly at my local airport.

Thank you RFDC !

It's not because they want to, it's because they have to. And the PC-12 and PC-24 are both perfect for the job the RFDS does.

@@endwood true, but in alot of areas this thing goes, there aint even a runway, and the raw uncut dirt and ground is known for being vehicle killers. for it to handle the abuse the terrain puts on em is pretty impressive
One of my dreams is to be a pilot for the RFDS when I get my CPL. It would be an amazing experience knowing what you do for a living saves lives.

brother nation? erm, not so much, no.
Admirable, but I wonder what level of critical care and level of insurance warrants this level of service. Does it take trauma of a child or a heart transplant to reach admission to this level of care and who pays for it? It's got to cost 50-100k USD. Unless one has evac insurance, I can't fathom how government services will pay for the average person's transport.

The government enables economic development and access to resources by funding an aeromedical service to remote and frontier regions of the outback. This encourages the population to take their skills to critical industries in the form of mines, livestock stations and ecological and cultural tourism sites, knowing that the RFDS has their back when they are needed.

I’ve found the American in the comments. USA - the only developed 3rd world nation, easily identifiable by its lack of healthcare for its citizens.
Very flash presentation BUT this jet is only now being realised that's it's very limiting in what it can do! All the hype has hidden it's limitations and it's not the magic bullet the boffins first thought would be the answer to extended range retrievals!
