495th FS F-35A Callsigns

[slogen51]

The original list in the OP doesn't seem to be updated anymore, I just added in Greenking which you hear occasionally

In the OP list I think Loki is an eagle callsign

Also quite a few Reapers callsigns are being resurrected by F-35A missions - Taco Wardog Grim Reaper Balls etc

I've not had chance to update the list in a while - feel free to add any recent ones in Mike.

Cheers

Any Reapers callsigns in use too or are they using the very large list of 495th ones?

[slogen51]

Quite a few reaper flights I would say

Often hear :-
Taco (very common)
Mojo
Grim (not as often)
Wardog
Balls ( occasionally)
Hook

Fairly sure Roman is a Reaper callsign as they say Roman 01 taxy two Reapers etc etc

Fury in use today on F-35A - was common on 493rd F-15C

Owl a four ship of F-35A flew this morning - may just be a point blank exercise callsign

95% sure it was Owl but I can't see a connection to either Squadron

Edit : Although on Wikipedia a possible link to the Valkyries

The owl symbolizes great wisdom in Norse mythology. The Katyogel, the Norse god name for the owl, can be translated into the goddess of wisdom. Odin had a pet owl with him at all times and regarded him with the utmost respect. In many places, the sign of Odin is also an owl.

Heimdall 01/02 heard and seen today

Thank to GWJPhantom :-

In Norse mythology, Heimdall (from Old Norse Heimdallr) is a god. He is the son of Odin and nine mothers. Heimdall keeps watch for invaders

Heimdall also appears in marvel comics which is probably more apposite or relevant!

Goat fourship of Valkyries heard today

[slogen51]

Could do with a general F-35A callsign list defined by Squadron

Heard Dingo today not 100% sure but I think 493FS

[slogen51]

Fenrir heard again this morning

Should be a Valkyrie based on the provenance of the callsign

[slogen51]

Heard Daddy / Daddi fourship this morning - don't know which unit although can't quite see a Norse connection !

Ajax confirmed to be 495FS - 'passing 495 feet ' etc
