Vic Pol AW139's
Seems VicPol have upped the ante, 3 x 139's and a King air due in 2020.

Meanwhile the GC and Brissy utilise a state of the art BO105

You are thinking about another operator. SLSA use BO105 and an EC135. Great news I reckon. Sounds like the Brisbane AW139 sim is going to be busy.

That's what happens when the leftys are in power, they give all the money to the workshy and bloodsuckers of society instead of the agencies that have to do the clearing up.

Nope, the Police helicopter on the GC/Brissy is a BO105. Fact.
I never mentioned who operates it.

Wow 139’s for police work, are they making it into a airborne paddy wagon?

Can’t wait till a problem arises with the 139 and the fleet are grounded, no helimed, no coppers, no rescue. Putting all your eggs in one basket, probably never happen but would be interesting.

Nah, they’ll just take all the 412’s out of moth balls for another run

Or just upgrade to something bigger. The natural progression of things in EMS/SAR, police work etc is to get bigger machinery. It won’t be long before the 139 will be out and the 175 will be the natural replacement.
And yes, I’m stirring the pot...

Or just cut to the chase like Tokyo Police have and get a 92. At least the 139 has Italian style

The 175 was in the mix but not SPIFR certified in time.
I wish I had a catchy saying like everyone else...

That 92 is a sensational looking machine.

Although I do love the 139s I want some variety.
Maybe a MD500
