Funny A/C Regs. or ICAO Location Indicators
U experienced (old) guys' and gals' out there must have seen a few funny regs. or ICAO Designators' in your time?
Saw a departure point the other day somewhere in the US of A with the designator being KLIT, which heralded a few "phnarr phnarrs'" around the ops room! Also once saw a pic of a german registered C172 with the reg. D-EEFY! And not forgetting Old farmer McDonald in Ireland somewhere with his cropsprayer reg. E-IEIO Cheers Bob! |
"D-ICKS" :E
A Dornier seaplane! http://www.b-domke.de/AviationImages...mages/1397.jpg Had the pleasure of controlling it back in 00, triggered a few giggles on the freq..... :p |
Seem to remember there is an airfield somewhere in Bolivia with the designator "SLAG" :ooh:
|
There is a twin Squirrel out there with G-NUTS
MATZ :p |
I have had one called G-TENT come in once, to which the tower obviously had to say to the guy, ''for over night parking, you can pitch it over there'' !
On the funny R/T call-ups, i have had a guy call-up, been given the details and then asked me to repeat the info becuase he and i quote ''Had no lead in his pencil'' :) |
KLIT, good old Little Rock, Arkansas...
Scott Oh, we don\'t use the K over here unless it is on an ICAO flight plan... |
how about Libraville's ICAO Designator = FOOL
In SA a DHL C208 Z SLT commonly called the Slut |
Oh that the Dornier should visit Parma in Italy - LIMP! :D :D
|
When Easyjet used their alpha numeric callsigns we got EZY 5LT which looked amusing on the radar labels..
or EZY 5HT... |
On the VOR approach into Boca Raton, Florida the FAF is named UGLEE. Funny when you got cleared for the approach "... N123AB, 3 miles from UGLEE..." etc
Further south, somewhere south of the Florida Keyes if I remember correctly there is a waypoint called DROWN.... somebody with a sarcastic sense of humour must have come up with that one.... |
In Malabo , Equatorial Guinea the IAF is called AMPUS which some of the boys called AMC@NT.
|
good one for the ICAO designators bob agg check up RJFE been muttered a few times during som runs.

RC-135 used to leave controlled airspace to the open FIR in the Clacton area to refuel enroute Offutt AFB in America. The flight strip read - CLN FIR KOFF

seen recently on S15 (DOVER for the old lads!);
IBENT - a bit queer that one :} and Bexil160's favourite GBL05T - coming 'up the hill' via GUBAR Didn't see this one myself so it might be a LACC myth - there was a USAF tanker callsign - W4NK1..... except an 'A' instead of a 4 or what about the reporting points in Scottish FIR........... ITSUX MADAD |
Ther used to be a biz-jet type thing floating around Germany in the late 80's:
D-ILDO |

I'm still waiting for an Australian airport to be issued with the ICAO code 'YMCA'.

An ex Mil controller of mine was talking about his old experiences during the times of the USSR cold war & all the US Mil was still flying around they used to go on excercises..
one of which was 'Excercise Pink Mussel' & RAF F-4 Phantoms had a callsign ''Giver Formation'' (Giver 1 & Giver2) |
