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'

"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?

Does anyone have the lowdown on the origin of waypoint sobstory, half way between Nuuk and Kulusuk in Greenland?

There must be a reason.

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 Anyway, after a fortnight of ops, for some reason it was revoked and they had to use the aircraft reg, "G-HIHO" which became "Golf-Heigh-Ho" half the time.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

JayeRipley 2nd November 2005 21:34

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.

Max Angle 3rd November 2005 21:38

Bernie Ecclestone's BBJ goes under the callsign of Formula 1, very cool.

spanishflea 3rd November 2005 22:07

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:
