Does anyone know what the callsigns are for the C-130J-30's of Denmark and Norway?

As far I can find so far, RDAF use Danish Air Force, although one flying in the US (probably on an exercise) used "Crusher". Still searching for the RNoAF.

Norwegian Air Force XXXX and then abbreviated down to Norwegian XXXX

It's not an abbreviation, Jim. NORWEGIAN is the actual callsign of the Norwegian Air Force (ICAO code NOW).
DAF and NOW are indeed what they are using with when you hear them abroad. Not sure if they have tactical callsigns for interior flights.

Cheers for that, Jim's bumper book of b*llocks updated. [emoji3]

The norwegian c130's often use HUSKY on national flights.
During the excercise Cold Response earlier this month they used LOADERxx for cargo flights and TROOPERxx for troop transports
Altough the LOADER and TROOPER callsigns also was in use by german A400, so I think it was a general transport callsign
