I saw it take off often from the ATC tower where I worked and flew to Learmonth on it. That was about a 7½ flight each way

The caribou is a perfect STOL aircraft, its a pity their replacement Beech king air & C130J's midterm are not sufficientAO11912 wrote:dlcat1 wrote:14 cylinder oil pump.

Definately known as Wallaby Airlines for any RAAF aircraft flight, Wallby is also the call signs for Caribou. Emu was used during Vietnam as a call sign for "slicks" or helicopters from 9 Sqn RAAF that had been modified with various weapons. Emu is the common call sign for Blackhawks as they are the succesors to 9 Sqn when RAAF handed helo duties to Army.
