Call Signs

Postby N723GW » Fri Feb 18, 2005 7:49 pm

Got a question for everyone...or a challenge. Try to think of a call sign that is more then 3 words long. ***Most are two-syllables*** Either one word or two, but there are some that are Three syllables, but only two words...I know of one, and only one call sign that is 3 words..."Air-Force-1" and maybe "Air-Force-2"? Not sure though. Here are all of the airlines I can think of and their call signs...that I THINK are the right ones, correct me if I am wrong...

Air Tran- Citrus
American Trans Air- Amtran
American Airlines- American/Eagle Flight
America West- Cactus
Allegiant - Allegiant
Air Canada - Air Canada
Northwest - Northwest, Mesaba, ExpressJet
Continental- Continental, JetLink
Midwest/Skyway- Midwest/SkyX
Chicago Express- Windy City
British Airways - Speedbird
United - United/Ted
U.S. Airways - U.S. Airways/U.S. Air/Waterski/Air Shuttle
Delta- Delta/Comair/Song/ASA
Alaska Airlines - Alaska/Horizon
Hawaiian - Hawaiian

Any ideas?

I am never exactly sure which line on the aircraft.cfg to edit to change how atc addresses my flight.

I believe I have heard controllers say China South East 1522 before, but it's been a while and I may not remember it perfectly. I'll dig around and see if there are any notes in my flight bag about three-word airlines.

Duly noted N72   :P

For the record, it wasn't an argument, just trying to correct what I thought was a mistake... per your original post...

Here are all of the airlines I can think of and their call signs...that I THINK are the right ones, correct me if I am wrong...

::) Not sure why you thought I posted an argument when you asked to be corrected   ???  

I thought you made a mistake, so I corrected it...  Alas, I was wrong and you were right, and I can admit it.  Thanks for correcting my mistake and sorry for upsetting you ;D

When it comes to call signs there is more than you can shake a stick at.AIRFRANCE;LUTHANSA;AIRWEST;NIPPON; ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY THAT ARE OUT THERE.
Down load the edit voice pack software and that will solve most of the call signs problems. 8)
