Golden Boy got his name after the crew got him drunk, dumped him in a piaza and emptied their bladders on him. He later became better known as 'TCC'. Thankfully left.

One bloke (now left, but possibly back as a reserve/aux) didn't like the sncos using the normal abbreviation of his first name as it sounded 'too italian'. Spent the rest of his time called 'Luigi'.

Then their are the one's reserved (not necessarily fairly) for female aircrew:

Milkshake - nice, but thick.
Emu - a big, ugly bird that can't fly.

Then there was James 'Bisto microlight' S****. Because he was thick and rich, but slow and difficult to see in flight!!

Nice chap thogh - or so the baby dentist girlies thought. Hence the alternative nickname of Delta Foxtrot - dentist f*cker!

Arrived on new Flight and was introduced to SAC Mogadon (the slow acting dope)-turned out to be an incredibly accurate assessment.

And then there was one of the earlier RAAF pilot lasses who became known as "Bou" (after RAAF Caribou aircraft).
For those not familiar, the type is slow and loud.....

Two spring to mind
Squipper on 18 called 'Earth' cos he has no potential
AGI on 18 as well, strangely, known as 'TAPS', Thick as pig's s**t

LTW was first called L##c the **** (it rhymes) but was told LTW stood for Lightning Training Wing because that's where we all thought he was destined for (even though it didn't exist)..

Is there not a Nav on Hercs known as 'Pang' -that's the sound the frying pan made as it hit her face.

Then there was 'Driftbitch', as during one sorty the frustated captain finally asked, 'Whats the drift, beeatch?!?"

"Milkshake" was thick and tasty.

"Zulu" is an hour behind everyone else.

OK, all right already - I'll get me coat!

....wasn't there, you can't prove I did it!

BEagle 13th Apr 2001 01:54

Yes - the 'pang' story is correct. Her surname also describes objects she tests to destruction by walking across them!

TorkNcT4 13th Apr 2001 03:07

There is a sqn 2ic at egxd called BUFT, boring useless fat ****, and he is still there practising his two sheds routine.

Capt H Peacock 13th Apr 2001 11:27

There was a chap at Doncaster Military some years ago called 'Bungalow' - not the tallest chap in the world and absolutely nothing upstairs.

Spur Lash 13th Apr 2001 13:57

An unsociable Loadie who didn't like to go out; became known as Pilot Light.

TOBWARi 14th Apr 2001 01:13

Flight term at Dartmouth, class of wannabe aviators waiting for teacher.
Conversation starts with

A: “I know, lets all give each other nicknames. I think I should be Vulcan after the Star Trek character”

B: “But mate, you look more like Ferengi”

A: “No, I don’t like that name”

B: “In fact mate, you look more like a Gay Ferengi”

Gay Ferengi it was then…evermore.

Which showed him.

Big Green Arrow 15th Apr 2001 02:52

Once knew a rotary mate who wanted to be a 'ffffighter pilot' and effeminately spelled his name with a Y intead of an I...yes it's you Sylvia..who was described by the crewmen as being like a nav light.....steady dim!

Helmut Visorcover 15th Apr 2001 05:12
