RESCUE HELICOPTERS NSW

Hello and Welcome Back 

Rescue Helicopters are the backbone of Emergency Services giving fast, reliable transport while offering the same service you would expect from an hospital emergency room.

From search & rescue missions, car accident victims (I'm one) and even lost & injured hikers, Rescue Helicopters are available 24hour, 7 days a week, on call, ready at a moments notice, often putting their own lives at risk.

From personal experience, I would not be alive today if it was not for the Careflight Helicopter. 

Laying on the road with 4 breaks to my pelvis, broken collar bone, dislocated shoulder, broken nose and massive internal injury's (pelvis cut major artery's to my legs) after a bike accident, it was the Careflight helicopter that picked me up and transported me to specialist doctors, flying me to Liverpool hospital (2 operations), then to Westmead (another operation) then back to Liverpool for the final operation (I died but they brought me back)... all up, I died twice and spent 4 months in hospital with another year learning to walk again..

Newspaper cutting of my accident (below)

Moving on..

NSW has currently 3 Rescue Helicopter teams, those being Careflight, Westpac Rescue and Toll Rescue (NSW Ambulance)

Most Rescue Helicopters today have multi-agency radios onboard including Police, Marine, Airband, Ambulance & Hospitals at a touch of a button.

Listening to Rescue Helicopters gives you an idea about what these amazing services have to deal with, they include things like adverse weather conditions, patients on the verge of death and even LED laser lights blinding them as they are about to land.

If you have a digital radio scanner receiver that can receive PSN (Public Safety Network) in NSW, this would be a excellent place to start.
You can often hear Helicopters talking to hospitals detailing what is going on, so that the hospital is ready and waiting for the incoming patent.
