Nicknames
I was having a bit of a chuckle about some of the nicknames that some pilots have acquired over the years, “The Heli-Tubbies” (two portly pilots), “one hundred and ten Ben” (jet ranger pilot), “The Feral Goat” (you can work that one out) any other good nicknames out there?

Where i grew up there was an old drunken crocodile shooter called Sputnik. Apparently he and and a group of cronies in fit of patroitism at the time of Russia's success had their own space programme going. We are talking about 4 derilects on a 2 month bender using 2 44gallon drums welded together with a charge of explosive underneath. The cosomonout was our hero with a dog for a co-pilot and a bottle of rum for rations. Of course the dog died and Sputnik became a resident of the hospital for a long while.
When I was in the mob the aircrew used to be called GSD's- Green Suited Dicks, nothing personel to about 95% of them just a name and as i was a Flight Fitter (Crew Tech) I wore Green Flying Suits as well :-)

i know a guy that is named Blinky,, bad, bad man,,
he has put 3 fixed wing's into fields by running out of fuel, 2 of which fliped. withen 4miles of the airport. he has had numerous hard landings and the A&P that we have at the airport refuses to work on his aircraft..
from what i hear, he is blind in one eye and can barely see out the other, for real.. he is about 50 something and his best pal is a Doc, so he keeps his medical up and good. to be honest, i haven't seen him in the air in about a year.. if i am in the air and i know he is near by, i will leave and come back after he has landed..

Here are a few from my Ex-Mil Days,
SLUF- Sleazy Little Ugly F##Ker
Opium- Slow working Dope
Clock - A guy who had one hand bigger than the other.
PD - Poison dwarf
Young Spider - Because a spider has eight Feet(Think about it)
Two Dads - For a guy with a double barrel name.
Muckhole - for a very easy young lady.
Trickypig for a guy who's last name was Cunningham.

At YSBK there once skipped about a dangerous Piaggio pilot known as 'The Laughing Gnome.'
'Foul Bowel' is a well known fellow, name of Howell. His twin is variously known as C and C (or K and K) 'Couth and Culture'.
They had an associate curiously called 'Virginal Stillborn', renowned for paint stripping halitosis.
'The Hat' was a renowned PNG operator, with enough different headgear to wear something new each day of the week.
(The very best and original will be found searching the record for Australian shearers and wharfies.)

A couple more for the record:
"Moggadon" - The sleep inducing medication which is exactly why one utterly boring guy inherited this name.
"Thrombo" - short for thrombosis, 'slow moving clot' which is exactly why another fella got this name.
"10-9" - the unique code used to summon assistance when the proverbial hit the fan which seemed to always happen when this incompetent nugget was about.

A couple spring to mind:
Speechless One, a delightful RN QHI, who never spoke unless absolutely necessary. The original grey ghost, but not related to Speechless Two of this forum
Captain Personality, for obvious reasons: total lack of
