Withdrawn from use and shipped to Brighton City Airport where it is being parted out by Eastern Atlantic Helicopters.

Even though the HEMS market is "flooded" with Airbus H145 helicopters these days, it's nice to see that Heli-Austria takes a different route, at least for the time being. Thanks to the austrian company, aviation enthusiasts can still enjoy MD902 Explorers in the HEMS role. At the time of upload, the company operated no less than nine of it's own, while two more - HB-ZZW and HB-ZZM - are registered in Switzerland, owned by Linth Air Service but leased to Heli-Austria. HB-ZZM pictured here was built in 2000 and till the end of 2016 served as G-HPOL with the Humberside Police in the UK.
