Cool callsign

[catocontrol]

What is the coolest callsign out there?

My favorites:
-Nitro (TNT)
-Mist (Norwegian mil)
-Speedbird (BA)
-midnight (sundt air)
-Keiko (Nor. mil)
-scoop (ben-air)
-Scandinavian (I had to add this one)

Weird or hard to say:
-Volga dnepr
-Grupotampico
-Aguascalientes (i would die if that one showed up at my airport)

The coolest would have to be Polar Tiger.

Sorry, know this isn't quite what you mean, but for me the best callsign ever was "London Tower", often changed to "Tower of London" by a great Aer Lingus pilot.

HD, don't forget the on uup north....Blackpool Tower
watp,iktch

I like:

- 'Dutchbird' the connotations are good
- 'Coast Rider'? sounds like Ghost Rider

[Bern Oulli]

If my aging memory serves correctly there is (or was) a freight hauling outfit based in Hawii (?) with the call-sign Uglyvan, the three letter code I forget. Presumably describes their aircraft to a "T".

Game, set and match to Chiglet!!

Years ago, when I workd with the Yanks (great guys) a flight of F-4s had the call "On-heat 11". When they called our radar man exclaimed: "Hmmm; seasonal callsign.."

[RheinControl]

My favorites:
- 'Snowbird' (haven't seen them for a while)
- 'Beauty' (TUI Belgium)
- 'Speedbird'
- 'Cedar Jet' (Middle East Airlines)

Best ground station:
'Love Tower' (Dallas Love Field - check this lovely homepage: http://www.dallas-lovefield.com )

Worst callsigns:
- 'Fraction' - reminds me of friction, new c/s of NetJets Europe (formerly known as Skyshare)
- 'Skyrunner' - German operator of a pretty slow bizjet, Skywalker would fit them better.

There was once talk of placing radar on the Isles of Scilly... with growing oil exploration possibilties in the SWAPPS (bit like Shetland Radar?).... suggested callsign was to be, of course...

Scilly Radar

[niknak]

It would therefore follow that the "Tower" would be Scilly, as would be "Ground", as for the management....

"Lusty 91" - 2-ship of AV8B's landing in CYEG a couple of weeks ago. Also from the past, "Shark" - A-10 squadron, and "HEAT 51" - F-111.

One I forgot about from CYYZ years ago. Controller\'s timing was off on the PTT switch and a B1900 driver was referred to as "you f%&*ing idiot" !

Many years ago CMB (Cambrai) replaced SYL (Silly) near the Belgian/French border. Up to that time we had Silly arrivals and departures fromm EBBR.

Here before Pontius was a Pilot or Mortus a Rigger

A BE350 going by the callsign of SPECSAVERS 4K departed ABZ yesterday evening.

Hope he was at the right airport.

Damn!! Should've gone to EDI !

VFR reporting position in the Cape, South Africa called DARLING. All sorts of fun with the female ATC's, "call me DARLING".

[ComJam]

Personal favourite....

RAF Harrier GR7's.........."Wellard"

We used to have "Ghost" but someone nicked it! B******s
