Radio telephony

[Greg01]

I think Peter posted a website where you can look up the airlines and their radio call signs but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know what cargo-liner uses the callsign "Rattler"?

And, Peter, if you can find that link again, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,
Greg

Sure thing, Greg:

Rattler is a a callsign for Business Airfreight, a FedEx sub-contractor who flies mainly Cessna Caravans.  They are based out of Vermont according to the FAA sheet here.  I hear them all the time over the skies of the northeast US.


edit:  Confusing these guys with WIGGINS, a FedEx sub.  Rattler has the logo AirNow on its aircraft and it seems is a small competitor of FedEx.

Thanks Peter. For some reason, I seem to remember hearing "Rattler xxxx heavy" on that famous clip of the one JFK ground controller.

Gracias!
