AlGrant -> Aircraft Callsigns - Inspiration! (8/17/2016 11:31:40 AM)
|
I may be the only one who gets a mental block when I have to assign callsigns to my aircraft, but it happens often enough that I now keep a list of real world callsigns that I've detected on ADSB detector!
My detector feeds into '360Radar' - similar to Flightradar24, but will show military aircraft (if they are transmitting).
This list taken from aircraft seen over the UK shows a/c model and c/s.
Might help feed your imagination!

The USAF C-130 at the top is highlighted in red because she's squawking 7700 (emergency) and is heading home to Mildenhall.
