Global callsign

[nice_beaver]

Keep hearing them all over the UK recently, someone changed their call sign or a new outfit?

[U/S President]

On 1st April, when JMC Airlines became Thomas Cook Airlines UK, they changed their callsign to “Globe”. It’s not “Global” but it’s close and would explain its recent appearance. Is it definitely “Global”?

as opposed to global which is american military.

All the foreigners (and some brits) call it 'Glob'

I thought that the US Mil callsign was "Reach"

Anyone ?

it is smokie but they have a lot of aircraft, hence, a lot of callsigns!!

[TangoZulu]

For real melodrama I beleive the US mil have also "registered" the callsign "Death" - as used by the B2 last summer coming in to RIAT at Fairford as Death 71

Seems a little overy dramatic to me but it takes all sorts .....

Actually heard alot of americans with 'taki' or 'attack' recently too - or something like that... Heard a dozen going south west from italy in the middle of the night about 6 weeks ago.....
