Careflight (NT) Raytheon / Beech 400XT Nextant Bizjet VH-OVS "Careflight 46" at Longreach Airport

A surprise visitor into Longreach Airport on Saturday 14 December with Careflight (NT) Raytheon / Beech 400XT Nextant bizjet VH-OVS arriving directly from Sydney.  It had arrived into there from its Darwin base via Mount Isa the previous day, and was presumably heading 'home'.

It later departed to Darwin and was noted using the flight number and radio callsign of  "Careflight 46".

VH-OVS is one of three Raytheon / Beech 400 corporate bizjets that Careflight operate in the Northern Territory alongside an Agusta AW139 helicopter and six Raytheon / Hawker Beechcraft B200 King Airs.
