Some squadrons will give themselves a name that identifies their mission. For instance, "OPEC" and "Extender" are both call signs for tanker groups. Some identify themselves with callsigns that represent their base location, ie. "Elvis" is a C-5 squadron out of Memphis and "Yankee" is a c-130 squadron out of New York.
As a USCG Telecommunications Specialist at AirStation Corpus Christi, on HF and VHF we referred to our resuce a/c (either rotary or fixed wing) as "Coast Guard xxxx) xxxx being the CG designated a/c number. In otherwords, our Dauphin Helo was CG6565, or "Coast Guard 6565". The rescue a/c also referred to themselves as this to the vessel in ...
RE: SR-71 Squadron Call Signs #13326993. BY CX747 - Sun Dec 29, 2002 9:44 am. While I don't know the call signs that they used, I do know that most of their operations were done without radio communication. Options. 2 posts. Return to “Military Aviation & Space Flight”.
The callsign (e.g. Speedbird, Delta) is an easily said word used for communication with ATC. The 3-digit numerical IATA codes (e.g. AC is 014, LX is 724) which appear on tickets and are important for accounting purposes. The 2-digit numerical Boeing code (e.g. DL is 32) is used for manufactuering purposes.
Here's the wording from the FAA: Provide priority to civilian air ambulance. flights (call sign “MEDEVAC”). Use of the. MEDEVAC call sign indicates that operational. priority is requested. When verbally requested, provide priority to AIR EVAC, HOSP, and scheduled. air carrier/air taxi flights.
Callsigns get really fun when you dive into the smaller airlines. In terms of major airlines, "Cactus", "Speedbird", and "Shamrock" are certainly among my favorites, as are "Springbok" (South African Airways) and "Rednose" (Norwegian UK). But smaller/regional airlines are more creative. Trans States - "Waterski". ViaAir - "Stingray".
Similar Call Signs #10681599. BY DBCooper - Thu Oct 07, 2004 10:29 am.

IAHObserver, because in some cases, the callsign is associated with the type of training mission being conducted.
Quoting mesaflyguy (Reply 1): Well not as funny as the above, I always found Chataugua's "waterski" callsign humorous. I think that's funny, too, but it's Transtates' call sign (deriving from their origin as Resort Air, at Lake of the Ozarks). "Cactus" is a funny callsign, too. A leftover of HP. -Rampart.
I think that's very cool to do. The only ones I know are listed below... Air Caribbean - IBIS. Arrow Air - BIG "A". Atlas Air - GIANT. British Airways -SPEEDBIRD. Canada 3000 - ELITE. Skyservice - SKY TOUR. ATA - AM-TRAN (well, maybe that's not so different)
