Some American ones that have stuck in my head:

TIKE - think I know everything
SPIN - shortest person in NATO
Mud Slide - had a 'physiological event' in the jet
Wedge - as in 'simplest tool in the box'
Sex - surname: Fraver
Coma - took red 'stop' pills instead of green 'go' pills on a CORONET EAST deployment
"Dopey", "Grumpy", "Doc", "Happy" etc.: names given the 'vertically challenged' initial cadre of F-15A instructor pilots who were collectively known as the Seven Dwarves
High Drag: had big ears
Getsno - not lucky with the ladies
