Everyone at EDLV had a laugh when V-Bird (May god rest their souls!) announced their selection of "Veebee" as their callsign.
Lots of vibis available here: http://shop.beate-uhse.com ...:) |
Further on the Lego Callsign:
I was in a flippant mood one day and the Lego Excel was outbound to Billund from the UK. Another crew queried the Lego callsign. Comments about the Captain having a fixed smile, moustache and a yellow face were bandied about. To his credit, he piped up: "Do you like our plane? We built it ourself!" A colleague of mine always wondered when the call would come; "Lego 1 Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, the Captain's head has fallen off and rolled under the seat!" Other US Military Callsigns spotted on Radar: 'Grim' in formation with 'Reaper' |
Police callsigns .....
I would suggets the rather cooler ....
ROTOCOP :cool: |
"Dutch Mil, Knot 14"
Knot 14, this is Dutch Mil, confirm your c/s is Knot 14?" Affirm. Roger, if it's not 14, what is it then? |
A/C inbound to Brest, France:
"Request brest information..." :p |

Surely, BMI Baby would be a good example.. Aircraft: blah blah blah Atc: Roger, Baby 123, cleared direct Brest Regards, Shuttlebus |
Startrek formation still gets me!!

Does anyone have the lowdown on the origin of waypoint sobstory, half way between Nuuk and Kulusuk in Greenland?
There must be a reason. |
Thanks for mentioning Waterski, Wycombe :)

Back in 1987 at Prestwick we had a one 747 outfit called Highland Express and their callsign was "Tartan." Anyway, after a fortnight of ops, for some reason it was revoked and they had to use the aircraft reg, "G-HIHO" which became "Golf-Heigh-Ho" half the time.
Happy days...:D |
Always take a breather before reading back "BRT1T"..........:8
|
or even BRT1TS that flies into Birmingham
|
The Police callsign should be Muppet - after all they had
'Pigs in Space' ! The scariest one at present is 'Reach' You know they are either going to ask for a relay because their HF is down, don't know how to get an oceanic clearance or block 123.45 with irrelevant banter :\ |
Could be worse with Ascott screwing up the skies here in SOCAL as they did when I was in the mil.
|
Bernie Ecclestone's BBJ goes under the callsign of Formula 1, very cool.
|
I believe Bernies "BBJ" is actually a 146!

OVC002 -- Sob Story was (still is?) a military air-ground station in Greenland 6511N 4350W. It was an FIS relay in 1972 and I seem to remember it was later upgraded to a radar station. The name intrigued me as well, probably just a Cold War code name.

Coolest civil callsign:
"Batman"-belongs to G5 Executive of Zurich. Good bunch of guys and yes,you can climb direct level 450 on departure if you wish! (wish I could do THAT!):cool: |
