You’re out flying, you hear, “Satan Zero Three leaving three thousand, climbing to one zero thousand.” If you’re anything like us you’re thinking, “Who the heck is Satan Zero Three? In fact, you probably even wrote down the call sign on your kneeboard so you could search the interwebs when you got home.

Well look no further! As it turns out, Ron at MonitoringTimes.com has compiled a list of all MILITARY call signs as of 2011 (link to download text file).

Some of our personal favorites? Air Force 1, Ambush, Bandit, Demon, Devil (yea, we like the really odd, dark names), Doughboy, Hotdog, Jeckyl, Jedi, Nightstalker, Reaper, Savage, Scandal, Snoopy, Taco, Top Gun (dang right it’s real!), Voodoo, and Zombie – to name a few.

Pretty cool, we know. You can thank us later.

Clear Skies and Calm Winds,
