Need some help from creative minds. My company was just approved for an FAA/ICAO call sign and designator. The problem is that all our requests were used by other companies. We're a aerial survey company up to our necks in film products.

Any suggestions?

I think this has turned into a competition!

our final selections are:

Topo
Sensor
Platform

Optic

 

[El Bucho]

Centerfold
Photomat - remember the poor highschool kids that had that job in the kiosk in the middle of the parking lot where you dropped off your film?
Seymour - Robin Williams character from "One Hour Photo"...
SeeMore - Just a play off one above

Scramble to make this acronym:


OPTIS - - Optic Platform Topo Image Sensor

optic is the best of those choices, but i'm not really a fan of any of them.

Why not use something that would make people laugh?? It's only pilots and controllers hearing it anyway.........

mac-n-cheese (obviously refering to timebuilding jobs pay scales)
FoodStamp (see above)
BoredomFlight
Request (although I think SWA might have that one in reserve)

Well...the pilot group and owner decided on "Topo" as a callsign and "TOE" as a designator. Not my favorite, but it was the only one that represented our operation.

 

[Sticky]

hah...well TOPO was a failure. The controllers called us "HOBO", "TOEHO", "BOBO" and the best was "TADPOLE". Of course, with a three letter designator of "TOE", most controllers thought that it was a VFR callsign of Toe.

So...we changed had to change it. We tried to get FOCUS and OPTICS, but they were taken. ICAO selected our last choice of "FOOT PRINT". The good news is that is an aerial survey term, but it does sound alittle funny.

oh well....

 

[cforst513]

was PEEPING TOM already taken?

 

[trailer Captain]

"Money Shot"

 

[cforst513]

"Snowballer"

 

[Sticky]

LOL..well...those are all great ideas. Money Shot would be perfect.

Just wish we could come up with something better than "FOOT PRINT". All the good ones are taken

Can anyone guess what a foot print is?

 

[cforst513]

a picture of a foot?

 

[minitour]

Like a finger print...only with your foot?

Who's got the foot fetish?

-mini

 

[Sticky]

damn....I just can't win!!!!! You're right, controllers and pilots are think that! It's actually the size of land and aerial photo captures.

Think I screwed up again......

......looks like I'm gonna have to send the FAA another email.....

You guys should call yourselves "Cameo". Pop in the airspace with the name "Cameo" and your a star. It works purfect for a company that takes pictures.

Then again hopefully nobody calls you cameltoe.

 

[Sticky]

Yeah, we came up with a few good ones too. In reality, we can't be flying around with "money shot" as a callsign. It sucks that all the good ones are already taken. "foot print" does sound kinda weird, but also hard to forget. We just want controllers to become familiar and recognize our type of flying. It's gonna be funny to fly across the country with it though. When we have 9 aircraft buzzing around the northeast at the same time, I think we'll attract alot of attention.
