While trying to figure out call signs for a few of us new Dedicated Crew Chiefs, my former Deputy Commander of Maintenance's wife saw my last name and insisted on mine, since she was such a fashion hound. And it's stuck for the past 20 years... (Crap, I'm getting old!!!)

A friend told me the story of an AF "chunks" which was well earned. as been said, they all have stories, typically pretty good ones, behind them.

Unless you FLEW in the military, you do not have a "call sign". You might have a nick name...but not a call sign.

I would guess to be accurate it would be that you have to actually currently FLY in the military, but there again that seems a little boistrous and over the top anyway. But anyone that uses a radio has a call sign, nick, whatever.




On a lighter note ~ I have a buddy from Indiana that goes by "Hoosier Daddy"

Well, since I fund the military, I can call my "call sign" whatever I want!!

Since it has to be given, then

I give Ehab the call sign of Ehab "Bahtman" Aljandali. (google baht )

Many years ago, Major Woody invited me to fly against him, using Microsoft Combat Flight Sim, on Microsoft's Game Zone. MGZ required me to come up with a Unique UserName. I tried many and all were rejected except BuschBarber.

BuschBarber

I have also used the name Colonel Lingus

While many of these names have been used, at the Bowling Hall, as they make it easy to change the bowler's name on the Scoring Computer, there are some I have not heard mentioned here, such as Tiny P Noose, Private Parts, or I Ben Jackinov

Don't have a call sign, but I once subscribed to a rather raunchy mailing list. Went by the nick "Haywood Jablomi".

Knew another guy who went with "Richard Visage". Think about it for a while.

ORIGINAL: Gordon Mc

If I put anything on a scale model, I use whatever the full scale aircraft had.

The only time I have put such canopy markings on a sport aircraft was for my Super Bandit, and I simply used the name of one of my old RAF instructors - "Sqn Ldr Richard Head" (I kid you not, on his name).

Default RE: Call Sign

The guys at the fire station call me "YODA" or "DOUBLE NUT". The First is due to me being really calm in any situation and the second was from a bout with cancer at age 25. Now that I fly for a living I think my call sign is "what did the controller say" or "do what"
