Wow,
I don't know of anyone who operates a Dash 6 in this part of world, let
alone within Australian Territorial airspace.
I do remember a Coastwatch Dash 8 getting a serious hit by a wedgie a few
years ago at Broome.
As for "our Wedgetail brothers"..........I thought they were birds and we
were humans. Human attempts to wax feathers to our bodies failed hundreds
of years ago.
I hope I don't get PENETRATED by a wedgie.
