Hi Guys,

Just curious - Has anyone heard of or seen Polair 61 latley in our skies?? Its been a couple of weeks, and the skies are unusually quiet - with the exception of Rescue 65....

Is she down for maintenance again?

Thanks mate - i knew it wasn't just me lol

I went up flying on Sunday for the first time since coming back from being abit sick - and yeah noticed she wasn't outside the hangar sitting on the platform,... - On approach back to Jandakot, on Base leg, her hanger was closed - and nothing to be seen...so not sure what the go is there....

If it is true, that helicopter seems to get a lot of maintenance.

i read an article in the west a few weeks ago saying that it is out of service again due to maintenance

it mainly talked about how the helicopter was old and outdated, and should be replaced, possibly with 2 so there is always one ready and how other states have several copters.

from what i could remember it was an upgrade of systems

I dunno Bomber.....that would be a pretty good trick for a helicopter with no engines , gearboxes or rotors installed. Routine maintenance only and she should be back soon.

the light aircraft take over 62's role, just not as good as a chopper

When you don't hear it over the South Eastern suburbs for 2-3 days you know it's out of action. Didn't it just have maintenance done a couple months ago that had it out of service for ~ 30 days?

To those who are interested i have seen it actually flappin its wings, last couple of days. Dont know if its back in service or they just reattaching feathers one at a time
