Rob1 a écrit :Ben ca dépend de quel incident de Syrte vous parlez les gars...

1981 avec les Su-7 : VF-41 -> "Fast Eagle"
1989 avec les MiG-23 : VF-32 -> "Gypsy" (je suppose)

Ost a écrit :La VF 41 du temps de l'incident du golfe de Syrte était ainsi "Gypsy",

• Lt. Rick Shay--callsign "O," as in Rick "O" Shay. He instructed in VT-23 in the mid-80s.
• John "Tail Gunner" Gettle, as a Marine Staff NCO he always took care of VMA and MAW Marines six o'clock, on and off-duty (mostly off-duty -- got to protect the Corps Values).
• Lt. Steve “GEO” Smith – A-6 BN who asked (while sitting on the beach in Tel Aviv) “What do you suppose the ocean looks like on the other side of Israel?”
• One un-named LCdr in VA-85 earned “Kelvin,” as in Lord Kelvin, the man who discovered absolute zero.
• CDR Scott "Fuzz" McClure--Short for fuzzhead, after I lost my hair on a bet.
• AQ3 Jon Nihill "Lator"
• Lt. Robert Sean "Linus" Miller, F18 pilot with VFA 195. In flight school he would roll up his flight jacket and put it between his head and the classroom wall. It looked like a security blanket. Also, married a girl named LUCY.
• Lt. Dupin des Saint Cyr, known as, Lt. 'French Guy"
• Carsten "Cables" Hagen (Norway -- once flew through some powerlines...by accident)
• CDR (then LTJG) Ralph "Iggy" Portnoy. I was a RAG instructor in VA-128 in 1988 and was on the schedule to fly with Ralph. When I entered the briefing room I noticed that the flight data had the crew as RIP/Caz. I asked what RIP was and he said it was his initials. Without waiting for him to tell me his middle name I asked it was Ignatius. He said that it was Ira. I told him I liked Ignatius better and that I would shorten it to Iggy. He said he wasn't sure he liked it - always the wrong thing to say. I immediately went to the SDO desk and announced his new callsign.
  It stuck!
  --Steve "Caz" McCaslin
• Lt. Pat "Fifi" Downey. During my stint as a RAG instructor his wife called the skipper and said she didn't like him being called FiFi and would he talk with staff about it. He said he would and during our next AOM he said, "Gents, Pat Downey's wife talked to me and wanted to tell you that she was not happy with the callsign of FiFi for Pat. Okay, I just told you." Never have your wife fight your battles.
• Lt. Dave "Stoneface" Thompson, always had the same expression
• Dave "88" Jarrett, The first "number only" call sign. It's a play on the No. 88 car driven by Dale Jarrett. This guys name is Dave, but his squadron gave him the "88" call sign.
• AT2(AW) Manuel "Fidel" Castro, an S-3B TFO with VS-22
• AT2 (AC) Chip Willey, My old call sign was "Little" because my name was Willey, hence "Little Willey." Being 6'2", the irony was obvious.
• Major Hazard, USMC. Well, not actually a call sign, but none is needed.
• Lt. Dan "Bambi" Case. He ran over a deer with an E-2C late one night in 1996 while taxiing during FCLPs at Fentress, Va. The deer lost, but so did the airplane.
• LCDR Christina "Chewy" Green (short for Chewbacca--she is the tallest female NFO ever, and had the worst case of helmet head after each flight.)
• ADAN Brandon "Ewok" Ramirez
• AW2 Rene "Pumba" Alcazar
• LT Jason "Water" Walker (because he put a jet in the San Diego Bay)
• AW2(NAC/AW) Joel "Screech" or "The Younger Younger" Younger -- name acquired in aircrew school, much to his protests that there was already one "Screech" in the family already. Name stuck anyhow. This lead eventually lead to the following conversation between our mother and the detachment Chief (AEC(AW) Korous,) of then AT2 Younger, who was on leave:

- AEC(AW) Korous: Hello, is Petty Officer Younger there?
- Mom: Yes, which one?
- AEC: The one in San Diego.
- Mom: Yes, which one?
- AEC: The second class.
- Mom: Yes, which one.
- AEC: The one they call Screech.
- Mom: Hang on, do you want the one going to Japan or the one going to Hawaii?
- AEC: The one going to Japan.
- Mom: Okay, he's not here right now.

Cne Hazet "Def"...

Le seul surnom double face!!

GunMan a écrit :J'avais déjà posé la question à quelques PN il y a quelques temps.

Il semble que l'indicatif ops (genre "Tiger 12") est utilisé dans toutes les communications entre vols ou à un quelconque organisme militaire. Dès lors qu'on s'adresse à un organisme civil, on passe au nom "officiel" du vol (CAM###) il me semble.
Les "callsign" sont utilisés plus rarement, au sein d'une patrouille simple on préfère "leader" "2" "3" et "4". Par contre, dès lors qu'un gros problème se déclare le côté "ops" est mis de côté et on préfère aller au plus efficace avec les callsign.

C'est ce que j'ai retenu d'une vieille conversation, il se peut que ça soit complètement à côté de la plaque.
