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 (always wanted to use that icon)

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.
