And it seems there is nearly always one doing Touch N Go's.
Do they pretty much all use the 'Mentor' callsign now or does it vary and what is the go with ATC do they come up on the civialian ATC am not likely to hear them on my scanner down here in the Shire.
And I can understand for those well in the know if you can't tell me for security reasons etc, but thought Id ask anyway.
Thanks

They basically fly anywhere required. As Damien mentioned , operational requirements could be anywhere in the world. As for Australia. I was actually on a trainer a few weeks ago and without over exaggerating we covered about 30 airports along the east coast doing touch and go's that was over a couple of days. During my time here, I have been to places in Australia i never knew existed. They do fly to many parts of Australia.
