I disagree,the 139 is used by state in this countries who are ready to spend the money for a multipurpose aircraft doing EMS,Police,SAR,etc.The operating cost is crazy there is way better way to use an EMS aircraft who do not have unlimited funding. The Italian use it for EMS,but I don't know how they manage the finance.
The A was removed to differentiate the name with those existing,but some are saying it is for .....
accountability....
