Call signs?

[NoPax]

You got it, ASCOT is RAF C-310s. I use to see them around Little Rock AFB. Joey and Horse are other C-310 call signs you will here around Little Rock.

C-130 or C-310???

While we're at it...who is "Flint" and "Eagle Eye"???

Thanks, guess I am use to putting C-310 down. Edit command is useful. Sounded right in my head!!!!!

Eagle Jet is Eagle Canyon airlines, part of Scenic Airlines. They fly Fokker F-27's to the canyon, on NCAA contracts, and as Air Laughlin.

Janet is an interesting bunch. when I was flying out of vegas I heard them picking up clearences. 4 airplanes all using the same exact callsign, and the clearence was "Janet XXX, you are cleared to your destination as filed, climb and maintain as filed, squak as filed."

Here is a JANET flight plan from flight today. Provide by one of the flight tracking services. Hope I don't get a visit from any suits.

In addition to the C-130s, you'll also hear the Royal Air Force "ascot" call sign for VC-10 (yes, thats the VC-10) and TriStar 500 flights. Hear them quite often in ABQ. The "vegas heat" call sign is a charter management company out of LAS operating Hawkers, Legacys and Gulfstreams.

Redwing use to be a call sign for Redwing Airways, Kirksville, MO. Now it is used by a company out of ELP flying DC-9s and Convairs. Not sure what the name of the company is or if they had anything to do with the company in MO. Anybody know who this company is?


I also saw a DC-9 or something at MDW that has the Detroit Tigers logo on one side and the Redwings on the other. Perhaps they are using Redwing this time of the year.

You get a silver star, Lear Wanna Be, it's C&M Airways in ELP.
Excellent outfit....
No connection to the Detroit athletic teams, though, we fly car parts....
