The only one I have at the moment is: N24-012 Call sign "Aussie 012" and named as "Agro" from 816 Sqdn. Dave :unsure:

We cant get a list of names together unless someone tells us... See we have Len for the Army aircraft so we get the Blackhawk and Chinook names quite easily... I'm sure someone will step up in time... Darren

I'm going up to the Museum at Nowra on Wednesday...see if I can find out a bit more about them. I know that the Navy Squirels had names at one time. B)

I dont know if they all have names though... Darren

Aussie is used when on International ops... When I was doing my PPL training in a Cessna 150 here at canberra once I heard a seahawk operating from Duntroon... I think it was Tiger 81. Darren

Anyway I hope this helps...and lots of people are interested in Naval Aviation ! regards mark

We need a fixed wing element the way that our region is changing. I'll have to delve a little deeper into the Seahawk names. Dave :)
