'dog' we at times have cause to fly into SY/BK at times if the patient is being returned to their home town/state say after an accident in our state (Vic)for Eg. There's a lot of politics between the states as far as who ought to be transporting who. Also at times we are left with no alterantive but to fly interstate to find a bed for a patient of the local hossies are full up.
We even fly to Cairns & the likes from EN but it's not that common.
I once went to Brissy to retrieve a Victorian man whom crashed his car whilst towing a caravan on holidays, para for the rest of his life. Being a Vic resident we where tasked to bring him back.
& yr right KFC describes our planes perfectly!
The B200 is not really that suitd to trips that far (as in Cairns) but we can't afford a jet for every now & then
