"Mentor 27" Mayday call inbound Richmond
Aircraft call sign "Mentor 27" just declared Mayday on Brissy centre 124.8, inbound for Richmond and have requested full fire and ambulance services. Anyone know if this is just a military training exercise? Seven POB.

Believe the callsign is used by the Aussie C-130's. Funny though as I heard a USAF aircraft use this callsign recently too.

An "Air Force" helicopter ?
I thought the RAAF didn't operate any helicopters. |

They don't although Lloyds fly's rescue helicopters for the RAAF with one at Williamtown i believe. Maybe it was one of their aircraft?

Usually they use Trojan whilst in Australia - can not say i have ever heard Mentor as a Aussie C-130 callsign and i was with them for 10 years. Mentor used to be assigned to 77 SQN i think.
