Gotham?

[bryrex]

Anyone heard the call sign "Gotham" on the radio lately on the East Coast.

I haven't heard it, and it isn't in the FAA callsign listings, so maybe it was military.

I heard it just today up in the NorthEast and don't believe it is military. For one, the were on the VHF. I know, military uses VHF on occasion, but after "Gotham 15" (I think it was) checked on, the controller responed with a very confused sounding "Golf Tango Hotel 15?". You could tell that even the controller wasn't for sure who it was. At least a new call sign in the system.

GTH is the 3 letter ID and the callsign is "Gotham"... Company is Meridian Air Charter out of TEB

It's kinda of cute to have a call sign that references a magical marvel comic book city. Gotham City was a very turbulent city with constant coruption and turmoil.

Maybe it's Air Force One for the prez elect?!?

In that case, they should be based out on NEW or MSY.

New York isn't corrupt??? Wow, maybe you live in a different world from me. Not saying NEW isn't, but come on NY??!!

You are right, I just figured that NYC was the easy answer. They can have corporate HQ in TEB and maybe they could just open up a pilot base in NEW then.

The only reason I would consider NEW over TEB is that after that small windstorm they had, the cops were looting Walmart IN UNIFORM! That just amazes me.

Protect and serve brother, it kind of hard though when you are carrying a 40" LCD under one arm.

True enough...it does actually level the playing field a bit seeing the guy you are chasing has one under his arm too.
