Hi and thank you

Welcome again to the Makos! Was nice meeting you yesterday, and hope to continue learning more about the F16 along side ya. Always valuable to hear the mx side of the aircraft, as I know that wisdom can give a solid balance of perspective when it comes to various systems and functions.

As for the callsigns, you are totally correct. The way we do it here, is your original name is set by default - and then overtime once a significant event occurs/ any member is able to nominates for a callsign, that callsigns will then be awarded to you for the years to come :D

You can find that thread here: https://www.v303rdfightergroup.com/index.php?threads/v303-fg-assigned-callsigns.475/

Enjoy!
