Eight Ball
- Originally I was Eagle, since I'm bald and have a large beak (nose). It was then revised to Golden Eagle since I hadn't pinned on 1st LT at that point. Then I was playing pool and doing rather well. Being bald it was proposed that I be called Cue Ball. That lasted until it took me 6 or 7 tries to sink the 8 to win the game. I'm now officially known as 8-Ball.

Ellora
- I had a habit of reading Erotica, and kept a few books with me. So the boys came up with Ellora named for Ellora's Caves. A place of ancient origin that told Erotic stories on the caves walls.
-
ElV0
- Originally it was ElVo - like Elvis because of my hairstyle. Later chenged the 'o' to 0 (zero) due to my poor aim when shooting.
-
Elvis
- This guy was always hard to find when you needed him, so when someone was looking for him, other people reported sightings ('I saw him over at the...').
-
Emu
- I heard this one whilst at TLP...one of the first RAF Tornado pilots "earned" the monicker as another "ugly bird who can't fly"
-
EPU
- For those unfortunate pilots who inadvertently fired their Emergency Power Unit on the ground.
-
EPU
- Stands for it self. Just inadvertantly start it on the ground. Especially while the crew chief is walking by
-
Evil
- When I got to my first PCS at Eglin AFB, I was staying up too late and always had dark rings under my eyes. Coupled with the fact that I have green eyes, everyone said I looked like the Evil Dead, so they started to call me Evil.
-
Excel
- Had a Excel-Table for everything during flight school
-
Exxon
- In pilot training on his initial T-38 solo, this guy was so excited and in such a hurry that he kind of blew through the preflight. Once cleared for takeoff, he ran'em up and got the "mission complete light". The jet hadn't been refueled on the turn!!
-
Exxon
- During my first TDY (1991) to Nellis I had gone out with the boys and got tore up from the floor up. The next day I was hung over like no-ones business and decided to take a nap in the shade under a bomb trailer full of MK-82's on the LOLA pad between go's. So as I am crawling under the trailer Combat Eddie (CE) was already under it with the dry heeves. I found me a cool spot and layed down and CE asked what my name was. I told him it was Valdez but he kept calling me "Gomez". After correcting him several times he finally said "VALDEZ!" like the oil tanker. I told him yeah thinking this old crusty bastard is so drunk that he cant even remember my name. The next breath out of his mouth was "EXXON! get the f%*k back to work and quit laying around." From that day on, Exxon has stuck with me.
-
EZ
- After several long landings resulting in "overshoots", my very patient instructor made me try a longer runway. As it happened again, this time with him behind me, he quietly said in a low voice, "move out of the end zone and park it on the bench". The term "End-Zone" stuck with me through basic flight until graduation when it was shortened to "EZ".
