There was an RAAF Kingair A32-339 departed yesterday with "Hudson 05" as its callsign.

Well its official then. Hudson for the RAAF kingairs. Thanks Nigel. I always thought that the army and air force KingAirs used the same call sign, Redback.

I think the most likely suspect for Tiger79 is a Navy Seahawk, however 76sqn Hawk use this from time to time as well.

Not all the King Airs use "Hudson"..... as you stated many use "Redback".
It depends on which squadron they are attached to. Different squadron, different callsign. |

Tiger is also used by 2OCU Hornets out of Willy.

Does anyone know why China Southern had their callsign as China Southern 326A (CSN326A) as their callsign today. Is the alpha for a bit of variety or does it stand for something like adding heavy onto the callsign?

Re China Southern 326 Alpha.
Not sure if it's related but I have in the past heard BA use the suffix X-Ray, and Qantas use the suffix Delta, for flights which have been delayed such that there may be 2 flights with the same flight number in the ATC system at the same time. I believe the suffixes are added to avoid confusion. I assumed thay mean Extra and Delayed respectively (but could be way off). If this were the case with the China Eastern it may mean something like "additional" perhaps. Continental Micronesia always used to add the suffix Charlie to their flights, not sure why. Steve |

I think CX used to add suffix Delta in the past, not sure what they are using now.
