Hi everyone.

Just wondering if anyone knows the aircraft types of these.

I'm pretty sure Trojan 35 is a Herc.

I'm not sure what dingo is.

I heard dingo 64 and dingo 90.

Any idea?

Todd.

Yes Todd, Trojan is a Herc (we used to have Stallion for the H models but that is now used by the C-17's). It was only yesterday that I saw 'Mentor' used by a Herc on ADS/B.

The Dingo call signs are used by the Kingair's.

Just to clarify, Dingo is the callsign of the 38SQN King Airs. Not sure what 32SQN uses...

Would never expect anything less.

Wonder if I'll hear them on the way to brissy tonight. Can't imagine they'll be flying on a Sunday night.

Does Wombat still get used, or did that go out when the Bou's were retired?

Think some of the Bous also used Enfield.

32SQN- HDSN/Hudson - single ship

MNTR- is used by 285SQN for aircrew training

Bare in mind each RAAF unit has multiple callsigns...

No, that's the old 173SQN ARMY callsign, no longer in use.

Speaking of military callsigns, Trojan 02 (C130J) did a missed approach on Rwy 34R yesterday morning.
