Yes, you are missing something. You shouldn't be, because I have gone over it several times - see my post #65.
Your level of arrogance is quite extraordinary. I didn't realize you were a world authority on aeromedical retrievals.
1. The time to do a transfer is 2.5 hours longer when the jet is based in Broome (the idea of jets is to save time);
2. The taxpayer shells out a million dollars more, per year, to have a jet in Broome.
I love the way you pluck figures out of the air to suit your argument. Where did a million dollars come from? Do you have an intricate understanding of the Broome Bases finances?
Despite all the pontificating on threads like this, there will be a 24 based in Broome. In the mean time, if you feel your tax dollars are being wasted, I suggest you take it up with your local MP.
