Zing

'He got the nickname when making the transition from flying the subsonic A-10 'Warthog' attack aircraft to the faster and more electronically sophisticated F-16CJ. 'There are a few more things to look at in the F-16 cockpit,' he said. 'They called me 'Zing' because I was kind of all over the place initially.''

Zipper

'Zipper got into a argument with his girlfriend at a bar. As she attempted to leave in her car, 'Zipper' stood in her path. Somewhat intoxicated, the pilot lost his balance and fell onto the woman's car. As he slid off the car, the zipper of the pilot's flight suit gouged the hood's finish. Not only did he lose the girl, but it cost him $1,500 to fix her car.'

Zoot Suit

One night after a few to many to drink, me and my buddies were at a party. Earlier that night, during the drive to the party, I had the song * Zoot suit Riot * playing. Well after some more drinks they decided that it would be a great Idea if I did a Zoot suit (swing dance) for them. They thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Ever since then its been * HEY! Zoot suit! *

Zulu

'There was a quiz on marking various timezones. Scott O'Grady put down his answer, but used the wrong time zone. The time zone he was supposed to use was 'Zulu', or GMT. Hence, his callsign.'
