For a people who love history, you guys are poor students of it. Dick mentions his exasperation in dealing with FS in regard to planning changes whilst flying over the Tanami in search of The Kookaburra. He should have been reminding himself on why the Kooka ended up where it did and why they flew into peril. You know what came out of that entire fiasco? Flight plans, designated remote areas, the need for and means of communication and accurate aeronautical maps...and Dick railed against the idea of changing his flight plan with FS over some pretty desolate terrain.
