Callsign question?
 
Just heard a callsign of "Spotter 267".

What sort of plane uses that callsign? It was heading out Lithgow way i think.

That'd be one of the firespotting aircraft, which one I don't know...

Where's Bob Bell when you need him???

Google Cache is my friend.

Spotter 267 = Cessna 180 VH-DLB (operated by Curtis Aviation from Camden)

Thanks Adam. I remembered that list but couldn't remember where i'd seen it.

I'm going to push my luck and see if anyone knows what was using Neptune 273 today as well?
Ive tried googleing it but didn't turn up anything? Possibly a plane from Temora?

Thanks

Probably Neptune VH-IOY of HARS based at Albion Park. It departed yesterday afternoon for somewhere over the escarpment west of Wollongong.

Thanks Nigel.

The Neptune flew up to Richmond to commemorate a crash of a Neptune there 50 years ago.

I think its been asked before but a search turned up no results, but who uses the callsign Hudson?


Cheers

Callsign "Hudson" is used by 32SQN from memory.
