New DHC callsign

Post by ebauer »

During nightflying at EHGR this evening, a new DHC callsign could be noted:

OVERLORD
RAMONES 1974 - 1996
Talking Heads 1974 - 1991

I think this is a callsign used specifically for exercises (in this case the HWIC Recovery exercise near Budel), I have heard it several times before during exercises. I believe Overlord is something like a 'supervisor' of the exercise..

I can confirm DJ his hearings and info.

A helicopter could also act as a supervisor ;-)
