Submit a Callsign


Firecrotch

Apparently I'm the horniest guy in our squadron

Fan Song

Has very very big ears.... like the Fan Song SA-2 Fire Tracking radar

FART

Lt Franklin Art (F.Art)

Fatal

'Cdr. Al 'Fatal' Krause, USN, checked into VF-154 as XO. He was a large man who had collected the call sign 'Fat Al.' The skipper thought that name was less than dignified for the XO of a squadron, so he was re-branded with a contracted name.'

Fatbox

Chris Franklin, Senior Airman at the time at Osan AB, ROK. Upon arrival it was decided that his bodily appearance was....odd shaped....being that his proud beer gut seemed to resemble a square or 'box'. Hence 'Fatbox'.

Feet

Young F-4E 1LT in Germany during his initial checkout. Lost control of the jet on takeoff roll and went into the mud. Great fighter pilots have "great hands". This guy didn't, thus "feet".

Fender

Then Lt. Greg F. Got his name after a couple of fender benders (little car accidents)

Fess

Capt. Mike Parker, 313TFS. From the TV show Gunsmoke.

Fez

I cant say my "r's" and "th's" right. And I reminded them of Fez in that 70's Show

Fezzik

As big, goofy, and ugly as Andre the Giant in the movie Princess Bride.

Fingers

I was one of the earlier female flight surgeons, especially to a fighter squadron. On arrival at Kunsan I was assigned to the 35TFS SME. I held my breath as I heard the two callsigns in the running were "fingers"---come on, you all know why, and I actually have extremely small hands, even for a female----and "nurse" because that is what everyone assumed I was when I got off the bus from Osan. I think it is safe to admit now, I HATED the thought of "nurse". One of the pilots who arrived at the same time went with me as we did most of the early errands we had to do: buy party suits, sweep shirts, etc...his callsign was "flounder"... a la Animal House. I told him once I hated that they had put no effort into his callsign. He said, well, it was better than the alternative, "Colonel". Why "colonel"? Since we were together so much...as in the KFC statement, finger licking good. I also prefered "Flounder" after that.

Firefly

Colonel James 'Firefly' Jones - Kerosene left on runway accidently lit during takeoff, giving the appearance of the plane leaving a trail of fire whilst flying off into the air

Fish

He drinks a lot

Fizzex

Fizz Explosively - Went into the altitude chamber, forgetting the part bottle of Pepsi I had in my pocket.

Flash

While going through F-16 RTU in '85 I was known for drinking "afterburners" or flaming tequila shots by pouring them at arm's length into my mouth. After too many drinks one night I couldn't get a shot to light and someone suggested I try it with rum. In my infinite wisdom I did, the rum spilled around my face and I ran into the restroom while slapping my face in an attempt to put out the fire. Showing up on Monday with my face wrapped in bandages and 2nd and 3rd degree burns (obviously no flying for a while) the squadron went through a wide variety of names before settling on "flash". Man, did I get lucky!

Flea

Lazy a$$ driver who whenever there was alot of work to be done around the hangar used to flee!!

FLEM

Acronym name given to metrose*ual little B-Courser from the Netherlands by the 195th FS at the class solo party. Lt H.'s appearance was confirmed by his license plate, which said 'LUVMAKR' . Acronym stands Fu**ing Loser Ego Maniac. FLEM.

Flex

a muscular guy

Flint

Jeep Lieutenant came in high AOA into Incirlik,Turkey, thus creating quite a light show as he ground the speedbrakes on the runway!

Flossy

Lt. M. "Flossy" S. She had no discernible panty line.

FNG

standard nickname for the new guys

Frasier

Dual meaning callsign. 1) My former Vice Wing/CC looked just like Kelsey Grammer's character, Dr. Frasier Crane. 2) Another guy was a real smart@$$, so at first, people started calling him "Frasier", because he seemingly knew so much. Later, we actually got a pilot named Frazier in the squadron, so we renamed "Frasier" to "Cliff", as in Frasier's bar pal "Cliff Clavin". Cliff should've been his name to begin with. He wasn't particularly smart, he was just a smart@$$.

Freeze

'He flew Starfighters with the RNlAF and had a different call sign and was being converted to the F-16. The big difference was that the F-16s joystick didn't move (as we all know) and the starfighters did. And 'Freeze' kept jancking on the stick while he wasn't trying for a high-G turn. His instructor kept yelling FREEZE!. So 'freeze's' mates found that so funny that they'd change his nickname to freeze.'

Fribat

Flew Right Into Big A$$ Tower. A USAF pilot on loan to a NAVY VAQ hit a guide wire to a big tower. It spun/flipped/rolled him in all different directions/axis and he pulled the handle without knowing he would make it. He pulled at just the right moment and walked away. The aircraft clipped the tower.

Fridge

A guest had brought some French Cheese to the bar along with some salami and other goodies. This well-intentioned Lt, working behind the Sq bar, decided to put this particular cheese in the refrigerator. Wrong move. It was Brie, which HAS to be served at room temp when it is at its oozing best. No class.

Frolic

Capt. Alfred Frohlich

Fudge

The Blues once had a pilot named Packer. His callsign... Fudge. It was even listed in their program. I don't know how it got by the political correctness police. Especially since it was the post-tail hook era.

FUNGUS

F**k you new guy, you suck.

Other callsigns

Farmer, Festus, Finch, Fish, Fist, Flash, Fletch, Flip, Fred, Frenchie, Frenchy, Fudge, Furball, ...
