Yours etc A Wedgetail is an Australian Eagle. Wedgetail was the project name that stuck, Turkey's are Peace Eagle and South Korea's are Peace Eye. Perhaps call it Golden Eagle?

Airseeker was the name of the programme, part of a triumvirate with Seaseeker and Landseeker. It was never intended to be the name of the aircraft which remains RC-135W Rivet Joint.
