Even though there are a few hospitals with helipads in and around Brisbane, the Prince Charles Hospital is the one most used by Queensland's EMS helicopters. Here, VH-XCK just landed after a 1 hour 20 minutes long flight from the coastal city of Bundaberg. Due to Queensland's size, it is not rare for a EMS helicopter flight to last several hours. However, many times and to save cost, australian fixed-wing operator Royal Flying Doctor Service brings patients from remote places closer to a bigger city / airport, from where the patient is picked up by helicopter and flown directly to a clinic.

At the time of upload, VH-XCK was one of three Bell 412's operated by LifeFlight on behalf of the "Royal Automobile Club of Queensland" RACQ. Built in 2006, it was till 2010 operated by indian operator Glocal Vectra Helicopters as VT-AZO, before joining LifeFlight. It is seen here taking off after a refuel stop at the Sunshine Coast Airport, heading back to its base at Bundaberg using callsign "RSCU522".
