normal Portland Friday night things: sitting on your friend's porch listening to choppers and cessnas and then checking ADSB exchange to see which craft are running with their transponders off or without callsigns and which you can actually document.

Armored Core callsigns
“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.
I asked what I should use instead of firefox and someone said “floorp” and I legitimately thought it was a bit for like five minutes. tech has gone beyond making the torment nexus real to making poob real.

There’s a rule with callsigns- the more Hardcore and Cool your callsign is, the more of a wannabe you are. Pilots with callsigns like “reaper” or “dragon” are always absolute scrubs who named themselves, where folks with callsigns like “barf” or “crackers” are the Real Deal with stories to tell

I’m also curious about what verbal callsigns they used, but I have no idea if European air traffic transmissions are publicly available or archived. Anyone? bsky.app/profile/gree...
are the ADS-B callsigns able to be entered in ways that do not involve the pilot/dispatcher/ATC loop? (I ask because you can't very well talk to ATC as "Callsign Unknown" )
I wonder if SAM2900 or another was used throughout the flight on the radio.

No context for this, just a heads up: the secure USAF high frequency network used for strategic and nuclear command is now active, with two callsigns Rhetoric and Compress.
Can’t tell right now if it’s high-level ops or routine.

Full report coming shortly.

US Air Force also fly extra high priority REACH flights with 4-digit callsigns, too few to say anything meaningful imho.
Except that something happened in July 2023, more likely that was transits on their way to one of Trumps wars.

knowing how real-world pilots get their callsigns, though, I can't help but wonder whether it started out as short for "Took A Shit Airborne" after an unfortunate incident
