Unusual airline call signs

[N1atEcon]

"Water Ski" is by far the dumbest.

I like "Hop-a-jet". For the longest time I thought they were saying "Whopper jet" - I thought it was Burger King's corporate planes.

Southwest sounds cool!

Pronounced "Sow-west"

 

[Whataburger]

Pronounced "Sow-west"

my bad.

 

[N1atEcon]

"Air spur" sounds like air sperm.

 

[General Lee]

"Blojob"

-Oh wait-that is really not an airline callsign, that is just Gen Lee's vanity plate.

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.


Bye Bye--General Lee

springbok is south african... I think it's a native bird down there.

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

Springbok......named for a gazelle (sp) or an impala native to South Africa.

They do sound cool coming in to JFK.

flagship

Could be something like this.

Once in the day when there were "commuter pilots" there was an outfit called Dolphin Airlines dba. Dolphin Airways with the call sign "flagship".
Metro Airlines started Eastern Metro Express and the former CP at Dolphin went to work there. That CP and several others from Eastern Metro Express then moved on to Republic Express, yada, yada.

Atlantic Coast was Blue Ridge

 

[tomgoodman]

It means Royal Flying Company

Here's a toughie for most of us Yanks: What do the initials "KLM" stand for? Bonus points for correct spelling and pronunciation.

CAT-PISS, CAT-TITS, or any other combination of words from the Eastwipes as they choke on the callsign of the little airline that purchased the Titanic..............

Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij

translation - Royal Aviation Company

Sounds like "Southwest" only in Dutch.
