"QUOTE R22 CLIPPER" - If the ex Mil stuff is not VH reg how do you get on for flying into GAAPs for fuel etc? Is you allowed in without a VH callsign?[/QUOTE]
I've been told from a Aus Army pilot that all mil aircraft have a VH-... marking, but they designate them numbers or call signs, like the Huey's are "Bushranger 013". . Or Kiowa 013 etc. so when they come of the mil register they use there VH-... marking. When sold to Australian public they are classed in experimental cat. I believe thats only Airwork etc. No charter.
similar to airliners. . you can see there VH-... marking but they use company call signs "virgin 799" etc.
This is what i have been told anyway...and have seen VH-... markings on Mil aircraft.
