Thanks for all your help guys, it was VH-VRP. I had to pick my gf up from the airport at 6am, so went past the Helipad and the BK117 was outfront with the EC130
Sorry to start a stir, I try to keep a track on whats flying round, usually by sound when im stuck at work
As Curious stated it was Helicopters Australia that have the EC145 not Australian Helicopters
Its so good having a BK here , I hadnt seen one before the regular Adelaide one arrived, Looks impressive, All the guys at work ask me what it is and i usually know type and rego
Later today bout 2:30pm the regular BK flew over, from the hospital direction towards the airport
Whats the thing on the front of the Mackay BK117? is it weather radar or something IR? It was hard to get close for a good look as they are increasing the size of the shopping center that backs upto the Australian Helicopters an CHC pads, I was so convinced it was a EC145... Maybe one day ill see one
