USAF Callsigns

Post by Argus 01 »

Hi,

I'm looking for a list of callsigns used by the USAF on HF (i.e. 11175) like B2's, B52's, RC-135, E-4, E-8 etc.
Thanx in advance.

RC-135's E-4 E-6's can be heard on 11175.0 however, most of the time you will hear Mission crew with a day to day different callsign.
Mostly coded messages to/from Andrews.

However, when on transit flight a RC135 might be heard with atc callsign perhaps for Weather Info at their Destination , SNOOP is common transit callsign.
Not sure about E-8, but even on transit they use different callsign each time, with exception of digit which is always 14 (heard once 15)
E-4's on transit, I asume they are in constant in contact with Andrews on a assigned Frequency or even Satcom.

B-1's can be heard while on ferry to/from sandpit. Callsign used : RAMA

(Statesside), recent callsigns heard on HF (credit Al stern, Milradio / HFmonitors) added with some I know to exist

B-52

SKULL ROGUE DOOM SCALP CHILL DEUCE HAVOC ICER

B-1

HAWK BONE DARK RAZOR

B-2

FURY DEATH CZAR

E-6

RUFF SHADO RAZZ REAPER

E-3

SENRTYflightcrew?
DARKSTARMissioncrew?

RC-135 (TDY Mildenhall/Souda)

OLIVE HAWG

I am quite sure there will be additions....
