	Call sign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is allocated DU-DZ, 4D–4I for call signs.
		Call signs in aviation are derived from several different policies, depending on the type of flight operation being conducted, and depending on whether the caller is in an aircraft or at a ground facility.
		Amateur radio call signs are in the international series and normally consist of a one- or two-character prefix, a number (which sometimes corresponds to a geographic area within the country), and a 1, 2, or 3 character suffix.

	Call Signs
		Hallowell thought it somewhat stupid that call signs were used in lieu of formal names and ranks but since most Air Force pilots didn’t use them outside the cockpit, he viewed it as an odd little idiosyncrasy of most carrier-based fighter pilots.
		He had his call sign, Beanhead, stenciled to his plane but never really understood why he was Beanhead and why the pilot with a head exactly proportionate to a large turnip had the call sign of Firecat.
		Several call signs were awarded early to aviators that had documented and measurable tenure of the name while others were given just because he thought the addition of the name would be amusing.

		Civil aviation will take a step backwards this October when Concorde is retired from scheduled service.
		A quick phone call to Braniff reservations (remember, no Internet in '79) confirmed that Flight 53, operating from IAD to DFW on April 16 was indeed Concorde service.
