I have a question that's kind of related to the new special decals on VXG & VZU... is there a 'science' to the decision to put the decals on those particular airframes or is it the luck of the draw / right place right time? Asking because on any given night SYD must be spoilt for choice of new roo 738s that could've scored the decals. Cheers!

Looks like its A6-EDY as EK8388 and VH-OQJ as QF6600 for the flyover. Callsign 'seismic'. Wish the sun would come out

I think the transponder is switched off ads-b mode for formation due to TCAS issues. They act as the one aircraft for the purposes of the formation hence the one call sign

Ads-b mode does not affect TCAS.
