Hectic

This one was assigned by my buddies. Up to then I was known as "Hothead". Picked that one myself...
First you got to understand I'm Dutch.
The ducth translation for "Fence" is "Hek"
The dutch translation for "Slap" is "Tik"
Ever noticed those fences when on finals? I managed to hit those with my gear. Two sorties in a row :-(

Harm
-
I was on a bar overcrowded with some friends of the 92nd squadron (A-4 skyhawk pilots) and they started joking with a girl so i tried to be polite with her but instead I ''accidentaly'' throw the f*cking glass I was grabbing on her chest - I don't know how, someone hit me or pushed me... Well the fact is that I hit her real hard so I earned that nickname. Ain't so bad I think.

Given by an A-7 driver while in Korat, Thailand in the early 1970s. He seemed to think I offered opinions without thinking. Some think I haven't changed in over 30 years!

Homer
-
When our wing commander had told us that we were going to run 10 kilometres, I subsequently said: "Do'h!", catching the wing commanders attention. He was staring at me with a perplexed look on his face for like thirty seconds. After I was punished with a lot of push-ups, I got the callsign Homer.

HotDog

It was what I came up with when told to submit a callsign during the IP upgrade class (F-100) at Luke in 1963. The Germans thought this callsign quite amusing when I later switched over to the F-104G training program.

Huevos

The literal transition in Spanish means "Eggs"! The slang translation would be "Balls". I received this call sign after graduating from pilot training based on my attempt of numerous flying accolades albeit safe, but very daring! It also rhymes with my last name!!
