Call signs are fascinating. Some are founded in the unusual, like Hal  "Batman" Morley's, and others in ignominy, like Steve "POTUS" Fox's.   Interesting stories lie behind them all.



So, our Red Alert magazine will soon have an  ongoing column entitled "Call Signs."  Quarterly, call signs freshly  awarded will be announced with their attendant stories. Also, we invite you  share the history of your call sign for the edification and amusement of the  brethren. Don't be shy.



Be reminded, though, that a pilot may not chose  or reject a call sign given. They are awarded by your peers, and may change over  time with vagaries of your flying life.  Usage is based upon common  acceptance, not necessarily your pleasure. In real life, be assured, nobody is  "Maverick" or "Iceman."



Please write off-list with your call sign's story  or those of your RPA friends. If you're having difficulty formulating a call  sign for someone deserving, the RPA's Self-Appointed, Ad Hoc, Call Sign  Committee will be delighted to help.    Thanks,  "Blitz"

PS: "Blitz" was awarded by my mommy. In  the midst of disciplining an unruly infant, a neighbor called to tell her that  the Germans were blitzing London.  "To hell with the Germans," she  responded. "I've got a blitz right here." It stuck, but now it's kind of silly  on a 67 year old, balding guy.

He had a strong predilection for bathangings while doing inverted shooters most likely. Only the truth be known, never could get the hanging part down and kept falling off the perch. Gets even tougher the drunker you get.
