RAAF Callsigns
Hello,
Just a couple of questions regarding the RAAF callsigns for formation or multi/aircraft fligts.
As far as I know:
Single aircraft: CALLSIGN/No. e.g. MAPL241
Multi aircraft: Single aircraft rootword/formation rootword e.g MAPL HEYE
My question is, what would the callsigns be for each aircraft in the formation, would they contain a number? Or would the formation rootword change per aircraft in the ship?
Any answer is appreiciated.

You hear the individual call signs when they do a frequency transfer. For example if the were told “hipshot hoodoo contact centre 122.6”
It would go:
Maple Hoodoo push 122.6
The on the new frequency you would get:
”hipshot 1”
”2”
”3”
”Brisbane centre hipshot hoodoo”
It would go:
Maple Hoodoo push 122.6
The on the new frequency you would get:
”hipshot 1”
”2”
”3”
”Brisbane centre hipshot hoodoo”

For the OP, Unless things have changed, the formation callsign would be Maple Hoodoo, and each aircraft would be Hoodoo 1, Hoodoo 2 and so on.
BTW, Hipshot and Hoodoo and subs of Maple.

You would in this case be correct, yes
Ascend Charlie is correct...
As Hipshot 2, Ia8825's check-in would get a mention in the de-brief...
