Why do so many pilots of corporate-type airplanes say 'Sugar' in their callsign? Do they think it sounds cool? Or because it's old-school? Might as well go back to the Abel Baker Charlie Dog Easy phonetic alphabet.
There is one I hear up in Memphis Center all the time... "# # # Sugar Fox." I'm sorry, but unless you're carrying around the Village People, no self-respecting pilot should call himself 'Sugar Fox'. Repeat after me, "Sierra Foxtrot."
Please, in the name of all that's holy, stop with the 'Sugar' in your callsigns. And prospective students, don't follow those guys' examples. It doesn't make you sound cool.
On the contrary, it's kinda gay.
