Reg on this one is LN-SUZ, and yank controllers completely oblivious to the fact that not all regs start with a "N".
("Are you sure you are LN-SUZ etc")
After a lot of depbate on the GND freq the controller gave up:
"Hell, today you are King Air-Suzie"
They flew a rather long flight calling themselfs that, no problems after that!
We yanks aren't oblivious to the fact that not all regs begin with an "N"...
.."LN" is the callsign for a general aviation LIFEGUARD flight here in the U.S. They were just being asked if they were a lifeguard flight.
