I don't believe it. Flew in Mexico and Latin America and never heard the phrasology "Charlie Charlie" until my arrival in the Middle East.

If it were so, surely other Mexican phrasology would have entered the picture:

"C" is "Coca"
"N" is "Nectar"
"X" is "EXtra"

Ironically, Mexican Government aircraft are all registered "XC"-- "Extra Coca."
