Following up on a previous post about Maryborough Aviation Services (MAS) recently entering the jet age when Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) 1124A Westwind II VH-IER was relocated to it's new base at Maryborough Airport in July, David G has now kindly shared a number of interior photo's of the aircraft.
For a number of years, VH-IER was based at Illawarra Airport, Wollongong, however it is reported the owners of the aircraft (Capital Jet Resources) have purchased Maryborough Aviation Services, hence why the modified Westwind II will now be housed, maintained and operated from Maryborough Airport.
Manufactured in 1982 and powered by a pair of Garrett TFE 731-3-1G turbofans, VH-IER is a specialist medical retrieval and evacuation (medivac) aircraft and one model type of several including Pilatus PC-12NG, Beechcraft B200 Super King Air, Raytheon Hawker 800XP and Cessna Citation C680's operated by Inflight ER.
Of interest, Inflight ER is short for Inflight Emergency Room, and more information about the aerial medical provider can be found at : http://www.inflighter.com.au/
