UAE FIR - "big dog" call sign.
 

Always pleasant to hear. Which airline or outfit is this! Also hear "gun shy" quite often. :ok:

I have heard them down Djibouti way. They said they were flying a Dornier (228?) when asked by ATC, so not such a big dog. Great callsign though.

Big Dog, Gun Shy = US Military.

Still makes me chuckle. I wonder if there's also a 'Top Dog'?

Or "bad dog"?

How about 'Horndawg'! ;):}:8

At least there is a 'Dude' also flying around...

Big Dog: VR64 - it's a USN C130 squadron.

If you ask them the type on the R/T, you probably shouldn't be surprised if they tell you a load of BS especially around this part of the world.

Imagine getting your navy wings and then having to fly Hercs while everyone else is flying jets off the carriers - what a drag!

Not such a bad gig. Full per diem, not so on the boat. And remember when finished the flight, you go ACROSS the ramp to the O club.... Not below decks.

When they leave the freq are they "Dawg gone"...?

They're lying on their flight plan too as that says D328..........

I've no doubt in the summer round here they're "Hot Dawg"!:cool:

Mind you, as Navy pilots they probably think they're the "Dawgs Bol :mad: Dangly Bits"!
.....sorry!
