    I wonder if we’ll see any of these at Essendon airport.

    What Perth is to the rest of WA for surgeries and. Stuff, Melbourne is to Tasmania, the distance may not be gigantic, but a get from Hobart or Launceston to Essendon could be a much better option than the current props.

      the Medi-Jet from CO SA/NT has been on display in Essendon almost every week for the last few weeks, and with the second one to take up service you will probably see the two of them even more often. it has also been photographed and filmed in Mildura
