Check Six: Aviator Call Signs Updated

Posted on Jun 29, 2022 in Uncategorized*

In an earlier Retiree News post – Aviator Call Signs: The History & Naming Rituals – we linked an Department of Defense article about aviator call signs. The night before posting – for some reason – we started to list call signs of some members of the 199th Fighter Squadron. 

The list generated a lot of email feedback. Emails provided additional names and call signs. Some emails came with associated memories. Other emails called us out to list the call signs with the names of the aircrew.

It took a while, but we now have the list to share. Please note, some aircrew had more that one call sign in their flying career. If you have corrections or additions, please email Retiree News.
