Tactical call sign for IC

I personally like "Rogue Leader"

Sorry. That one's taken.

Not only would I think that was a good idea...I would not let anyone use their assigned voice call signs on and ES mission because of the recognition issue.

Those using functional callsigns must still ID with their tactical callsign IAW CAPR 100-3.

Just a quick question....why would the IC ever want to contact an aircraft direct?

a2capt answered the Q.

As for AFVCS use, part of the briefing before launching is the specific ID of the IC, and his call sign. On all the remote launches I've done, I've never had issues with who the IC is, or how to contact him.

Primarily because sometimes that ELT search is just the IC in his home office underwear at the kithchen table at 0230 on the phone with the AFRCC and the Aircrew or GT/UDF Team.

Wait, I thought you had to be in uniform to be on a mission...is there a specific IC uniform in 39-1 now?

Not even two pages long and this thread degenerated into a uniform thread like all of them!

It's a corollary to Godwin's Law.
