I’m sure if you were flying an F 16 top gun style

you would have Gwen. 

I pick sparkles because that’s what I see when I think of you.  Someone tries their hardest to bring the light to a dark place. Like a birthday sparkler that keeps going no matter how much you blow on the fbcking thing. 

All very American. Dont really do individual callsigns in the UK. There are of course flight callsigns, best example of which is the UK Apaches in Afghanistan were called UGLY. So you'd have a pair called UG01 and UG02. They even had t shirts made up saying 'Go UGLY early'.

Apologies Trombs.

I am, and always have been, tuglite on military planes.

When they are screaming overhead, performing a fly over while you are on parade, all I could ever think was just how much they looked like some malign alien insect. 

A wasp whose explosive limbs were inescapable. I was always repulsed by them.  

I'd go for the alleged approach of the RAF when doing exercises with the USAF who wanted them to have call-signs so the RAF chaps gave themselves names like " Cholmondley", "Dogbreath" and "Spastic".  On a completely unrelated point, what would ebidta's call-sign be?
