xclusiv8 35 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) So i was watching Jetstream yesterday. Its a canadian documentary that follows 8 pilots that try to make it as fighter pilots. Good show! Anyways, what really got my attention and got me laughing was some of the callsigns some of the pilots got. So i thought why not put all of the ones you guys have heard here. The best ones you've heard, funniest ones, worst ones, you name it Ill start with one from the show. Capt. Yannick "Blow" Jobin Now this one is just spot on!

macelena 1,070 Posted January 27, 2011 Freely translated form Spanish, a flight instructor known as "Pukes" who told me about another one, last of his class, CN-235 pilot "Insurance Inc" by companions and "Widowf***er" by paras. In English, a Tomcat driver, Captain Rick Ludwig "Wigs". Indeed, i think his aircraft featured a loading screen of TMF Tomcat. Fictionally, "Boxman" from "Flight Of The Intruder" or "Longhorn" from "Behind The Enemy Lines" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firehawkordy 34 Posted January 28, 2011 A Civil Air Patrol wanabee irritated me to bestow on him the moniker "Notso",last name was Bright. I won't list any of the pilots that I worked for in the Navy out of respect and fear of reprisals, but here are some of the call signs from the enlisted side: Animal Tree, the kid was 18 and 6'5" Tree2, 6'4" same unit and shop Pork Chop Mongo, dude looked like Mongo from Blazing Saddles Zippy Gilligan, self explanatory Wookie Beerwolf Toothy,Last name was Brush Spuds, from Trainspotting Crash Puppy, fell out of a pickup truck leaving the Club Skivies, last name was Haines Killer Kat, one of our lady AZ's after she fell in love with the Mossberg 500 I wound up with the name Sleaze after one of my LPO's saw me in a different local err, "house" on nearly every DET I went on.

macelena 1,070 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) I remember another tomcat pilot callsign "Faceshot". He appeared in Speed and Angels. When i first heard it, i thought the was something dirty about it, but indeed, it is explained later that , being drunk, he was shot in the face by a friend. It´s good having friends, you know?

+Piecemeal 450 Posted January 28, 2011 Does your own in-game callsign count? My old in-game callsign used to be 'Ultramax'. It was also my UserName here at CA until my brother saw me on my laptop one day at our parents house and started comparing it with a popular brand of female menstrual sanitary product. :blush::blush::blush: .......... I've been known as Piecemeal for some time now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bwild 5 Posted January 28, 2011 I remember another tomcat pilot callsign "Faceshot". He appeared in Speed and Angels. When i first heard it, i thought the was something dirty about it, but indeed, it is explained later that , being drunk, he shot a friend in the face. I was surprised they let him in after that. No, other way round. He was shot in the face by a drunk "friend". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted January 30, 2011 No, other way round. He was shot in the face by a drunk "friend". Oops, that explains a lot of things. I´ll edit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HrntFixr 4 Posted January 30, 2011 My first ever Div O (division officer) in the Navy was "TITS" His last name was Herbig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rambler 1-1 9 Posted January 31, 2011 Doesn't really count because it's a Navy nickname, but a friend told me about an ex-Canadian Navy NCO he met whose last name was Tater. When he was a Petty Officer, he was "PO Tater". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
