NSW Police Force Helicopter PolAir1 racked up its 4,000th landing last week when it dropped into Charmhaven to refuel.
The crew of the Bell 429 multi mission police helicopter was refuelling at the Rural Fire Service helipad at Charmhaven before tracking to Somersby to assist Brisbane Water Police with the search for an injured person after a motor vehicle accident.
The person was found at night by the PolAir1 aircrew in remote bushland, using night vision goggles (NVG) and the aircraft’s FLIR (thermal imaging) camera.
Local police officers and NSW Ambulance paramedics on foot were guided by the aircraft to the location of the injured person, where they delivered treatment on scene.
