Pilots with Cool Names

[Typhoon1244]

There was a Captain Kammander ("Captain Commander?") at Eastern. There was also a Dick Head.

Now I here there's a F/O at a northern regional carrier whose surname is the eastern European tongue-twister "Chrachakz."

"Crash-Axe?"

Haven't met any pilots with cool names, but our FSDO employs four Dicks.

...our FSDO employs four Dicks.

An equal-opportuniyy employer...

 

[FL000]

The best ever works with us, last name...

Pontious

He's gotta be sick of the jokes, though most of the heathens that he works with probably don't get it.

We also have a feller by last name Candler. I'll bet he gets zero sleep in the cockpit.

Also, There's an instructor at FSI in Wilmington named Dick Washer.

...but our FSDO employs four Dicks.

Only four!! Thought they're would be many more at each FSDO.

Kind of reminds me about the movie "Spaceballs," where he goes, "I'm surrounded by a bunch of A$$holes."

Ok, midlifer, the BS meter is gettin' hot! Does she have an album with his name in it?

Couldn't make this one up...Horstas A. Uzpurvis. My brother had a friend who would call this guy up and ask him what the "A" stood for.

The guy who picked my group of recruits up at the airport was S/Sgt. Deathrage (pronounced "DETH-ruj").

But imagine our reaction! "Sergeant Death-Rage?!?"

Captain Dye. Probably raised a few eyebrows in the back when his name was announced.

(Non-flying related) went to high school with kids whose last name is/was Fagg. However, I'm too PC to think that is even funny. So proud of myself.

Someone posted a thread previously about a guy named John Diacsuk. I mentioned the irony at the time of Mr. Diacsuk's name but noone seemed to feel me. Here's the link:
