Great formation callsigns I have heard!

Just while pondering good formation callsigns and general callsigns, I got to thinking....what would be a good callsign for fixed wing and helicopters in the Air Corps?

For the well informed, it cannot be too close to a recognised commercial call like 'speedbird', 'red dragon' etc and should have a maximum of two syllables. And no corny yank jet types please!!! Falcon and Eagle are too stereotypical.

For instance, Reach is a yank transport flight, Rage is a yank fighter flight, Fireblade was a lynx callsign, Dungeon was Apache, Wookie was squirrel, Gannet was Canadian Firefly students, Sundance was Canadian instructors, Ranger was Canadian Jetranger helis and possibly the best and most gung ho I've heard is 'No Fear' for Afghanistan yank Apaches!

I know that any bloody word is feasable, but what would be cool and possibly appropriate?

'SCORPY'!!!

Scorpy,

301 sqn RNLAF uses "Redskin".

For the IAC these might be suitable:

Allouette III:  Swallow, Tree
AW-139     :  August, Oger
EC-135       : Spider ( the thing looks like one I think )
Casa          : Ice ( instead of "eyes" )
PC-9M        : FuTS
MATS         : "T-shock" ( funny when Bertie is on board)
GASU          : Cop

Hope you like them

Let's meet up in Volkel for "a sneaky one"

Alouettes:  Zimmer (soon to be retired and older than their pilots)
EC135s: Throbber(their rotor noise)
Agusta: FixItAgainToni(Fiat)
G4: Fourskin..think about it.
King Air: Old Lady
Pilatus: Cuckoo...after all, what else are the Swiss famous for?

AIII and Gazelle routing to England as 'Rainbow section'.

Mis heard by the kind lady in RAF Valley who proceeded to call them 'Rebel Section' until they left her airspace!!

Misunderstanding or political satire, you take your pick.
