Unusual airline call signs

I believe the lamest would be JANET or something like that out of LAS. Those are the generic 73's.

I also didn't like ASA's "KANDLER" (for all of you spelling police, give me a break) I believe that was the owners last name. Way to egotistical.

And of course, I can't stand hearing "GATEWAY" (not GET-AWAY)

You may not like their callsign, but their mission is cool!
(Is it true the pilots have to be blindfolded on short final?)

Some military ones...

I herd "Death" the other day when talking to Kansas City Center, I think it was a B-2. Also the airport i work at has "Upset" (KC-135's out of MKE) and "Sweets" (C-130's out of MKE).

Agreed..however they have since changed theyre call sign to "Acey" and Candler is no more....

Who needs blindfolds, just give the pilots a USA today!

At another airline, I flew as a fill-in "Shamrock" flight once to SNN for Air Lingus.

EI used to have flight attendants on their freighters, talk about the golden days of aviation!

Can someone tell me where in the FAR's it says to use Tango in the call sign when your a 135 air taxi, I can't seem to find it.

I heard "Turtlehead" inbound to STL the other day. That's Go Jet, isn't it?

It's in the AIM right here. Under 4-2-4, Aircraft Call Signs, Paragraph 3, example 4. Notice it goes from example 2 to example 4. I guess they forgot how to count at FAA central command.

Airtran was a florida based outfit. When they merged with Valuejet(in a sense) they stuck with Airtran. Remember the (valujet)flight that dumped in to the everglades? It was not long after that. Valujet was "critter", if memory serves, after their little mascot.

Oh, yeah, and since Airtran was based in Orlando and there's lots of citrus going on around that part of the world...........well.....I'm sure you get it.

Citrus was new though, original Airtran call sign was Manatee.
