We use the term "SOB" all the time at the airport fire (ARFF) station. (SOB's = Souls On Board)

The reason we use "souls" is that some aircraft are transporting "HR" (Human Remains). Now, we don't want to add a departed soul to the passenger manifest now do we?

Reminds me of that joke about the news article.

"A Cessna 182, a four seat private airplane, went down in the Breckenridge Cemetary early this morning. Investigators have located 157 bodies, and still counting."

Richard Kirkland, P-38 pilot (49th FG, 9th squadron), in his autobiography, tells about a B-36 that went down in Canada, with an A-Bomb on board. the wreckage was not discovered for well over 10 years
