US Airforce Callsigns
 

I regularly fly through the Middle East and often hear the US Airforce. Often wondered what they were flying.

Anyone point me to where I can find it.

Often hear 'Python'. Would they all be flying the same type of aircraft or many different types having the same callsign.

Cheers

re: Python, no they are not using the same type each time.

The Guide's Internet Callsign List

Some bedtime reading...

SB

And I thought the USAF the bastion of PC!!

Bit concerned with that guide

JUNGLIE SEA KING RAF

Secrets out.....:eek:

Thanks Sunshine band. Quite extensive.

It may be a little out of date now.

Many 'Reach' I see are C17s which are not mentioned. Also I hear 'Whistler' alot too. Yet thats not listed.

Cheers.

Anyone know what a/c type 'whistler' are likely to be.

"check six"

The air refuelling lot at Mildenhall (100 ARW?) use 'Quid'.

You also hear 'Blue'- which is US Army.

Tankers. KC-10?

Do we really want to be discussing callsigns and associated aircraft on current operations?


My vote is no.

I agree. If it's not open source then there's a very good reason why not.

It might make a very big difference to Terry Talliban if he knows that Spunker 202 is a KC10 and not a B1.

A bit out of date!
 

Just looked at the above website callsigns and just a tad out of date.

ASCOT 4000-4019 HERCULES RAF INBOUND/OUTBOUND HONGKONG
ASCOT 4020-4039 HERCULES RAF INBOUND/OUTBOUND SARDINIA

I wish we still did Hongkong and sardinia!!!

Anyway I'll stick with my mystery callsign in the sandbox and lets keep it a mystery.... more fun that way!

In the early days of the Afghan excursion we regularly used to hear a fast mover callsign Elvis. He always raised a smile with his "Ladies and Ge'mun, Elvis has left the target" And if it was a Brit AWACS controlling it was always replied with "Thank yuh verr much"

Unsurprising to find Viper, Maverick et al... but TOP GUN as a callsign?

TOPGUN F/A18 USN NAS FALLON
TOPGUN VARIOUS USN NFWS

You two characters are going to Top Gun

CATBIRD always uses the same aircraft.
Used to be a P3 but been upgraded to a G3 a few years ago. The link mentions that its a VP3A...

Vietnam-Era Callsign
 

Can anyone provide me with name of the Air Force, Vietnam-deployed unit that went by the callsign "Grim Reaper" in the late '60's, early '70's?

Now if there was a world-wide available database search engine you would be able to look up questions like that.:ok:

I am with Brick. No.
