Hello after a long break!
Got question: what callsign do the NATO's Strategic Airlift Capability C-17s (LHPA based) use?
TIA!

Barok

You're right Oscar, it is Bartok

Thank you all!
Let me ask more:
- is Bartok a kind of a standard Hungarian c/s (for transport a/c?) or is it exclusive for SAC C-17s?
- does the c/s number refer to C-17's reg (tactical number) in any way? (as far as I know there are now three Globemasters numbered 001-003)

Ever heared of Google?
"Béla Viktor János Bartók was a Hungarian composer and pianist. He is considered to be one of the greatest composers of the 20th century "

As far as I know its only used by the NATO/HAW C-17's and the callsign does not refer to the registration.
The C-17's are registrated 01 to 03, and for example the C-17 at Eindhoven on December 15th was "Bartok112"

Cheers,
Perry

Notice I did NOT ask who Bartok was (BTW: I knew that). I asked ONLY about the callsign usage. And Google wasn't very helpful in this case...

That ARE answers to my questions - thanks.

BTW: Scramble mentions a few callsign numbers in use by NATO's Globemasters III: Bartok108, Bartok110, Bartok112, Bartok115 or even Bartok902(!). Could anyone tell me is there any rule of using numbers in callsign? Are they simply random or what?
