Lt. Dan "Bambi" Case. He ran over a deer with an E-2C late one night in 1996 while taxiing during FCLPs at Fentress, Va. The deer lost, but so did the airplane.

There's some good ones on the 2nd and 3rd pages etc of the Navy one.

Some of the handles paired with their last names are funny


Lt. Chris "Drippy" Johnson
Lt. Chris "Hi-Ho" Silva
Major "Oh My" Gaud

I know of two real callsigns:

Two-can: because it only takes two cans to get him drunk.

Binjo: the irrigation ditch around an airfield in korea that contains fetid water.

Lt. Rick "Comet" Lucas. An F-14 driver flying a famous supersonic fly-by while being filmed by the Discovery Channel, when his afterburner "leaked." He and his RIO looked like a comet as they ejected a few miles in front of the ship, and it was all on tape.





I bet that is the vid we all have seen the plane going right to left past the ship and then the flames...
