Mil Jet Callsigns
Was comming back to home this afternoon during quite a big arrival sequence for a MIL exercise and was listening to all the fast jet callsigns on their first contact with tower.
After listening to all the benign foreign guys tags, I mentioned to my front seat passenger that in the past I'd heard the RAAF give themselves somewhat creative names like 'Hipshot'
No sooner had I said that then a bunch of Aussie F-18s calls up with 'Bareback' followed a few minutes later by some F-111s called 'Avocado Yoghurt'! Amusing by it's self, and not often you get a two worded call sign but it took me a while to put my finger on it's origins.
Must be referring to a symptom one of the lads bought back from Malaysia last time they were there!
