they wont be using the MD500D's anymore?

As for now this is the only one. The 500's will probably be around for some time to come.
Having sat in both I have to say the Astars of able are more comfy and roomy inside.

it looks like one of SDPD's old jet rangers.

The basic shape of it is the same (roughly) as the old Jet Ranger...but it is a totally new helicopter other than that. One of the downsides is that it has the same rather tight cockpit of the Jet Ranger. Put a couple good size guys in there and they are rubbing shoulders through the whole flight.
