This thing was flying virtually non stop during October, but hasn’t flown for a while.
Broken, or busted the budget or doesn’t appear on Flightaware?

I didn't know this was a forum for spotters

It’s flying and is very good at spotting and tracking crims from a long way away. Has solved the endurance problem VicPol have had with rotary ops. Scum bags can’t out drive the Kingair.
With the Kingair, I suspect the pilots are are all checked in now.
The AW139’s have been smashed over the last couple of months with the same flight path over and over, presumably as staff are checked in, along with some IFR approaches. They have done a huge amount of flying which you’d think could be done in a sim. Depart Essendon, an approach at Avalon, circle Geelong, across the bay to Springvale, shoot an approach to Moorabbin, depart to the academy and back home into Essendon from the east. Must cost the state over $10k per flight.
