I think the Citation is against a fence or in the hangar corner out of engine hours.

To run the Airwing commercially 601 is correct, need more pilots to cover 24/7.

They had a ex CASA chap create a Ops Manual ect to enable an AOC. Got as far as casa saying they are ready to give it a tick to start but Airwing ( QGA ) decided to let it rest. Management pilots came and went, some got as far as casa approval, some were taxpayer endorsed on Hawker then left, some endorsed on Citation then it ran out of engine time. One would guess the hourly cost to the taxpayer must be a lot higher these days. Maybe Lifeflight should take it over
