Maryborough Airport Based InflightER Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) 1124A Westwind II Bizjet VH-IER Completes Medical Evacuation Flight to Fiji

Interesting to see that late on Thursday 3 September, locally-based Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) 1124A Westwind II bizjet VH-IER was photographed and videoed departing its Maryborough Airport Base on a short flight to Bundaberg Airport before it then flew down to Brisbane.

After spending the night, VH-IER then made an early departure out of Brisbane on Friday 4 September for Fiji where it is believed to have completed a medical evacuation flight back to Brisbane.

VH-IER then returned direct to Maryborough Airport.

As we've mentioned previously, VH-IER - which as suggested by its 'InflightER' titles - is fully kitted out as a specialist medical retrieval and evacuation (med-evac) aircraft.  In fact the name worn by the aircraft - 'InflightER' - is literally short for 'InFlight Emergency Room'.

VH-IER is also part of Australia Air Medical, whose mission is to be known as the safest, most ethical and best value jet aeromedical retrieval services in the Australasian and Asia Pacific marketplace.
