After formation break they revert to two callsigns, however in formation it was one.

The aircraft will operate under a joint special call sign whilst in formation – “Seismic” This is because Emirates President Tim Clark said the partnership between Qantas and Emirates will cause a seismic shift in global aviation.

Well, I certainly would have preferred yesterday's blue skies, but it was was it was.

One thing was noticeable above all else. They were very, very, quiet!
