Horse Fights Plane
A fight between a wild horse and a plane doesn’t seem . within the range of possibilities, but it occurred during the search for the airmen recently lost in the Victorian Alps on a flight from Sydney to Geelong. A Geelong flier was chasing brumbies almost at ground level over snow country in order to judge the depth of the slush by the splash they made tearing through it, when an enraged stallion reared itself on its hind legs and tried to knock the inti&ider out with its forefeet. The undaunted defender of his harem repeated his attempt every time the plane swooped over.
