Odd callsigns...revisited

[Birddog]

Heard the callsign "Billboard" over in Michigan this week. I assumed it was some blimp. Out in Moline, I have heard John Deere Citations using, cleverly enough, "Deer XX"

Does anyone know what an IFTA is? Heard in various parts of CA.

IFTA is International Flight Training Academy (All Nippon) out of Bakersfield, CA (BFL). They train All Nippon ab-initio Japanese students (future 747 drivers) in Barrons and Bonanzas.

Fr8Dog,
Thanks, for some reason my brain has a terrible time with names! It's amazing some of the unusual call signs you hear in the middle of the night, kind of like a whole different aviation world with a few recognizables thrown in.
