What websites do you use to find callsigns?
What websites do you use to find callsigns?
When you guys are looking up callsigns what websites do you use? A lot of my flyable planes do not have callsigns and I want to add them, but I don't really want to make a new thread each time I need a callsign.
(A good number of the planes I am looking for I do not have in AI form so I can not look at the cfg file for the callsign)

If you want, make up a list and I'll see what I have and make them for you mate.
I generally trawl through the net using Google and copy as many lists as I find into one large text document, makes searching a lot easier.

Some spotters with a scanner add the callsigns to their logs (which usually contains tail numbers and associated units). It takes a while to find what you're looking for (if you find it at all) but it's a very reliable source.
Re: What websites do you use to find callsigns?
Well thank you. Here is some of the callsigns I am looking for. I have more but I don't want to be to pushy.
VP-1 (P-3)
VP-46 (P-3)
67th FS. Kadena AFB (F-15C)
65th Aggressor Squadron (F-15C)
Massachusetts Air National Guard (F-15C)
VMFA(AW)-225 (F-18D)
80th Fighter Squadron (WP Tail code) (F-16)
555th Fighter Squadron (AV Tail Code) (F-16)
South Dakota Air National Guard (f-16)
When I started this thread I thought there was some websites you guys go to (To bad Scramble don't list military callsigns). If you just go through Google and stuff like that then I can look for some. Then ones I can't find I will post more here.

Re: What websites do you use to find callsigns?
Thank you very much guys!
I have a few F-16's callsigns that I am looking for, and two F-16's that I have questions for.
South Carolina Air National Guard F-16's, do they use MAZDA or MACE?
Colorado Air National Guard F-16's, they use REDEYE correct?
Also I can not find the callsigns to these two
14th Fighter Squadron (WW tail code) (F-16)
18th Aggressor Squadron (AK tail code) (F-16)

Re: What websites do you use to find callsigns?
Thanks! I wasn't sure about the South Carolina Air National Guard F-16's. The MAIW package has MACE, but then I saw this photo from airliners.net http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Ai ... 6c38250254 and the caption says "Mazda 56"

Mazda is a callsign used by USAF fighter aircraft when they are crossing the Atlantic. Obviously the pic shows the aircraft landing at Moron, probably either enroute Mid East or returning from there.

Re: What websites do you use to find callsigns?
It is also important to note that squadrons will have multiple callsigns. The 149 FW uses Bronco and Gunfighter for local training, but Texas for cross country missions.
