I really like CP's of empress. Even though I prefer AC, I thought Empress was always a good call sign. Now Canadian North uses it I believe.
Edit to add: Come to think of it when we had a CF-18 come and do some low and overs in YLW it was late 2000hrs or so and his call sign was Nightmare ###, it was nice seeing him do some low and overs at night with A/B on. On his departure he did about 5-7 low and overs again.

26 JGPH1A: Springbok - SAA Empress - Canadian Airlines Re Speedbird - don't some BA domestics operate as "Shuttle" instead of "Speedbird" ? If so, which ones ?
27 PlymSpotter: They do, although I am not sure which ones. Dan
34 ANITIX87: I'm still a huge fan of Swissair. I was so happy when LX adopted that classic one as their own, it brings back so many memories. Otherwise, I also lik
35 RyanairGuru: TopJet (TCX) - makes me think of my local shopping centre (!) Shuttle - Nice and nostalgic, so glad BA still use it on LHR domestic Midland - Remember
36 ExFATboy: Wasn't the pre-merger AirTran's callsign "Manatee"? Best. Callsign. Ever. (especially if the post-merger AirTran had kept it and eventually bought A38

38 DeltaAVL: Acey - ASA Beechnut - May Air Xpress Metrocopter - Island Helicopters (this one just has a ring to it)

40 113312: I was involved in the start up and certification of Dolphin Airways, in Tampa, Fl. back in late 1981. We needed a call sign and I recalled the colorf

43 RIXrat: Hmm. Under what call sign does the BA franchise GB Airways operate? "Speedbird?" If not, "The Rock" would be great.

51 Burnsie28: I like the classics Northwest, love the heavy part like "Northwest 97 heavy, MSP tower, winds calm, runway 17L cleared to land" American Delta United
