Callsign will not be Pirate, it's always Javelin on FAC

Callsign will not be Pirate, it's always Javelin on FAC

I agree mostly Javelin Callsgn, however on an FAC Ex at Spade in March 2012. We had Pirate 19 a JFATSU Hawk doing FAC at Wiley Syke medium level, at the same time

a Tucano Lima 01 on Low Level.
