This is the only MD 600N on the Australian register and one of only 7 NOTAR helicopters in Australia. NOTAR stands for No Tail Rotor and the system uses a fan inside the tailboom to build a high volume of low-pressure air, which exits through two slots. Directional yaw control is gained through a vented, rotating drum at the end of the tailboom, called the direct jet thruster.
This one is operated by Rotor Force Australia P/L, Caboolture, Queensland.

This aircraft had been at Shark Bay for gravel runway operations before refuelling at Meekatharra, then heading to Ceduna. The RAAF ordered 10 C-27s in 2012, to replace the De Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou. The aircraft were purchased under US Foreign Military Sales arrangements and are therefore assigned US Air Force serials, even though not operated by them. They are built in Capodichino, Italy with final assembly at Turin and they are then flown to Waco, Texas for systems integration by L-3 before delivery. This particular C-27 had US FMS serial 12-27054 allocated and was test flown as I-RAIB. It arrived in Pearce on 23 June 2017 during its delivery flight to RAAF Richmond, NSW, which it reached on 25 June 2017 as the 6th C-27 delivered (A34-006 not yet delivered). Photo © Geoff Carberry
