I never quite figured out why Pinnacle's was flagship... I think one of their previous owners was involved with american.

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.

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

Yeah, but for about 3 days they were "Crossroads" which had all kinds of issues at intersections.

They actually asked the pilots; one of the options was "Trinity." How appropriate considering the 'holy' teachings of BB.

They were flagship when they were Express I. (or maybe you meant they continued to use flagship if so, my bad)

No, its because when you have sex with a Virgin, you get Redwood.

I can't believe they didn't get caught with the connection between virgins and redwood when they asked for the callsign!

Just like yours: Urinalcake

You really have to stop bringing them home from your side-job at McRonalds with a packet of ranch sauce. That is disgusting.

What the?

How did you know I have been sneaking you Mom urinal cakes? I hope she didnt let you in on what she likes to do with them! (I'm just afraid she might hurt herself!)

The Corps out of Yuma use "Nightmare". None cooler, IMO

 

[Patriot328]

Lonestar Airlines out of TX a while back used to be called "Hustler".

"Death xx" - a great B-2 callsign

Hi Rook...I wasn't clear. That is what I meant. Thanks for pointing it out.

Sasquatch
I believe it's a cargo company based in the Pac NW.

That's Seaport Airlines, hauling people around in PC-12s. I've always wondered where the callsign came from, any Seaporters have some insight?

 

[say again]

T-Bag would be a good one.

 

[LR25]

Hey LR25 where were you based with Grasshopper? I still fly with Will M. and used to fly for Bankair 95 to 99.

I used to fly for a small 135 called Carolina Air Transport call sign CAT Bird.

I was flying out of AHN. Not sure if I knew Will. This almost 10 years ago with US Jets.

Stinger Bee. Don't remember who it was though.
