A few days after I photographed the last two Hueys in Australian Army service, I was able to witness the next generation of Australian Army and Naval aviation with the handover of the first two MRH-90s to the Australian Defence Force. This is the Navy's first MRH-90, A40-002 coming into land in front of the Australian Aerospace hangar at Brisbane Airport. Apparently the Army and Navy are going to share a common pool of MRH-90s hence the camo scheme on both A40-002 (Navy) and A40-003 (Army).
