Hi.
I´ve posted it already at a different thread, but here it comes again:
The german airline without catering (EAE): "Starving"
(or was it "starwing"??!!
)
The opposite to that would be "Rubens"
(by the way, does anyone know, who that is?)
RGDS,
Loofty.
P.S.: a nice one is also "Cactus" (America West)

"Reubens" is of course VLM of Belgium.
"Specsavers" will be heard nearly every day if in the vicinity of SOU or GCI
Another one that sounds quite good in the US is "Waterski" (which I think is Trans-States, a regional carrier)
US Military used to use "Quid" for their AAR tankers based in the UK.

It's actually "CLID" for the KC-135's.
Having said that I did hear a Female tanker pilot forced to use the callsign "CLID 69" over the North Sea a little while ago - made me smile......

Sorry, old boy, Wycombe was right. It was QUID. The SR-71 from Mildenhall also used the same callsign.
WANK 21 - a KC135 going Stateside made a dull day much brighter at LACC a couple of years ago! I don't think the Americans used it again after it was explained what it meant to a Brit!

No Quid is the right callsign
some of the tankers call Exxon and some Shell
There is a very good book called callsign
which list a very large percentage of civil and military callsigns

Early nineties, we were warned by Lon Mil of two F-111s flogging around the Isle of Wight, c/s Burp 01 and Burp 02. A wind-up by Lon Mil p'raps? Didn't the USAF use Sherpa's for a while, c/s Pokey?

I recall a story about two F111's transiting to LFA 15, in the early 70s, c/sign Sperm 01 and 02. Said acft were receiving "service” from a female controller from a certain atcru in Northern England. She is reputed to have said, in a plum, cut crystal voice:
"You are now entering my dark area, ceasing radar service".
The leader responded in a laconic Texan draw:
"OK. Wriggle, baby wriggle"!
