The Royal Flying Doctor Service, or RFDS, is close to every rural Australian’s heart. Five aircraft in Alice Springs cover central Australia, an area of desert the size of Spain. People in need call the flying doctor, hundreds of miles away, by telephone or radio. These aircraft, really airborne ICUs, can be wherever help is needed in 45 minutes.
