Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF)
C130 aircraft are based at Richmond and available for long-distance medical emergency flights (international and domestic). These are costly aircraft to operate and usually only available when there is no alternative.	Tasking air force resources requires permission at a senior level. This officer (usually at Wing Commander level) is at Glenbrook (lower Blue Mountains).  In the first instance, telephone (02) 4587 7311, the number for the RAAF Base at Richmond
Medical facilities for adults are located at Number 3 Hospital at the Richmond Base. Clinical staff from this base invariably travel with us. They look after any adults involved in the medical flight.
