Spectators Balcony (Spotters Corner) If you're not a professional pilot but want to discuss issues about the job, this is the best place to loiter. You won't be moved on by 'security' and there'll be plenty of experts to answer any questions.

My personal favourite callsign in recent years is that used by Atlas Air, the largest fleet of Boeing 747 freighters in the world. Their callsign? - GIANT

The best I've ever heard and used was "NITRO" for the Air Foyle TNT operation. Sadly no more.

"Require permission to tow (insert Bealine callsign) from the 'angar to the hapron". Usually in the gruffest voice ever heard......
Plebs are there to laughed at by grammar school boys after all..... ?!
Note : It's 2017 and this condescending nonsense was never funny. Good luck doing your job without their help "chaps".

Great WW2 skipper with massive hands would use the call sign "Blind" in a deep gruff voice instead of Bealine...absolute gent, unlike many could really fly the Trident properly and use his own throttles!!!!!
Did a Paris with him ...answered every clearance with "bonne"... nothing else..
