BA609 for Child Flight?
Australian Aviation reports that Telstra Peda-Flight is raising funds to aquire a 609 tilt rotor. Any news or thoughts? I reckon good on them!

Thoughts only;
They can probably justify the expense for their longer legs. I wonder if they're thinking of replacing the BK, the Dauphin or offering another tier on top?
I'm not convinced of the tilt rotor for myself, but if they think it's the right thing for them, and they can get it done, good on 'em!

It won't work ! .... simple as that.
.... aquisition cost rediculous .... training costs silly .... size of pads required impractical .... maintenance ????? .... nah this is "Bollocks".

Thats the truth
That's the plan!!!
It seems like the best option for the legs that are flown and will enable them to carry out some of the longer jobs in shorter time and also ease a bit of strain on Air Ambulance to cover the far reaches of NSW.
Flight in icing conditions is also a big plus.
There are a few hospital pads in Sydney that will be too small but there most of the ones they drop off at are suitable for the 609 size wise, including their base!!
Funding will be the big issue, A few more chook raffles I guess
Bring it on!!!
