They used Mytee last week, only time they’ve used anything different was when they arrived as Death.

Death is just a standard 13th BS callsign AFAIK, shouldn’t have any bearing on the type of mission they’re flying
Thanks Sam :thumb:

Nobody said the same airframes would be present throughout the exercise.

Presumably the ones here could easily be replaced by others quite easily.....
