Harry, That was me son. I am quite aware of the RFDS safety record but it merely points out an IFR operation does not guantee safety in itself.
As to your silly comment about getting on an air ambulance well ofcourse that would be safer/better etc. But the point is this is not available to Angel flight users. There condition does not qualify them to go by air ambulance. They are usually people going to clinic for long term treatment like chemo etc,or often for family members of patients visiting from remote areas. To the best of my knowledge the RFDS does not run an RPT service for all and sundry.
