What about other states? I thought every state used to have one Wespac helicopter. The Adelaide one is now sponsored by Adelaide Bank. --Scott Davis ^Talk 23:37, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

In other states they have are less involved. Hopefully in the near future i will be putting more information about them in other states. In QLD, and SA the helicopters are only there to provide back up and assistance to Surf Life Savers Patrolling Beaches. The helicopter in adelaide is on standby 24hrs a day, and the Adelaide Bank State Rescue Helicopter has no association with Westpac Life Saver.--Feelinsoryan 01:54, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I Thought Newcastles Helicopter Was a Bell 407 Not A BK 117

Newcastle recently purchased two BK 117s, one for Tamworth (primary) and one for Newcastle (secondary); the Newcastle primary aircraft is a bell 412 - the NSW Government required twin-engined aircraft for the health contract so they moved from 407s to BKs. --121.218.192.155 (talk) 07:17, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
