Unusual airline call signs

[Sky Jet]

I always thought that the last year of ATA we should have used "LUV's Biatch".

Heard "Sasquatch" this weekend.

BMIBaby in Europe uses "Baby" as a call sign.

PCL is the end result of Express 1...a former RepublicExpress out of MEM...mostly on the J-32.

In 02 (when they became PCL) they used Flagship b/c "Pinnacle" was already in use.

Think Doug Shocky

F-16's we used to work JAAT clocks with in ROK were JEDI. Always liked MC130's also - SPOOKY.

Chinooks in Kosovo were -BIG WINDY. Always got a kick out of that one.

F-16's out of ABQ use "Taco."

Some units I had the pleasure to fly with had callsigns of:
SIDEWINDER, CAVEMAN, COYOTE, NINJA, and BARON (for RED BARON)

Hey, why did the brain trusts of REPUBLIC change Shuttle America's callsign from "SHUTTLECRAFT" (a Star Trek reference) to MERCURY?

It was changed for about a day to "Crossroads" but that caused big issues with taxi instructions. Nothing like hearing " Crossroads 23 hold short 23" Not the best in a busy environment.

I heard the change from shuttlecraft was to do away with the "Shuttlecrap" references

The Selfrige (MTC) ANGB F-16's doing domestic combat air patrols after September 11 used Devil and Satan.
