Leo Brougher 1251919 Posted February 24, 2014 at 04:56 AM Posted February 24, 2014 at 04:56 AM Hello guys. I have been using vatsim for almost a year and love it! I was just wondering what callsign if someone were to fly an F16? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Grafelman Posted February 24, 2014 at 05:23 AM Posted February 24, 2014 at 05:23 AM Well... that would depend who you're flying it for... Just a generic USAF registered plane? You'd use "A12345" where "12345" is the last five digits of your made-up (or real?) serial number. You'd be referred to as "Air Force One Two Three Four Five." Some specific base? Whatever callword that base/station uses for whatever mission you're on plus whatever number you like to turn it into a callsign. Since we're talking about fighters, the number appears to normally be n1 (where n is any number 1-9). Tons of choices here for callwords... "ANGRY", "ANIMAL", "BANDIT", "BEAST", "BEER" (launched out of KHIL apparently... ) are some fun ones. The sky's the limit (pun intended) here; as long as it consists of "pronounceable words of 3 to 6 letters followed by a 1 to 5 digit number" (7110.65 § 2-4-20(a)(6)(h)(1)).
