F-35B Callsigns

Post by **slogen51** » Tue Dec 13, 2022 7:29 pm

Not comprehensive but a list of the Marham F-35B Callsigns I have heard ( some only once)
Squadron allocation is inferred from the ops frequency used : Tallboy or Kestrel

Popular callsigns are Bolt, Doom, Darkness, Ghost and Marham

Bolt 207 Sqn
Bonza 617 Sqn

Cyclone 207 Sqn

Dante ( likely 809NAS) November 2024
Darkness 617 Sqn
Doom 207 Sqn

Fenton 617 Sqn
Firecrest 809 NAS 15/10/2024
Flame 809 NAS 30/09/2024

Ghost 617 Sqn
Gibson 617 Sqn

Jenkins ( likely 809NAS)

Leeroy ( likely 809NAS) 18/11/2024 and 08/01/2025
Lightning ( 12/12/2023) used Kestrel ops so should be 207 Sqn unless 809 NAS are sharing resources

Marham

Nitro 207 Sqn
Poker 617 Sqn 1/3/2021

SeaJet
Sneak 207 Sqn
Stealth 617 Sqn

Torch

Warman ? May have misheard?
Wildman 617 Sqn 9-1-23 and 8-11-24

Additionally Ascot and Rafair can be heard for delivery flights etc

Marham 01 heard today too , I wonder how many flying hours the station commander gets these days!?

None, suspect it may be the Lightning Force Commander.

Thanks . I wonder if Typhoon 01 is the Coningsby station commander or Typhoon force commander?

There isn't a Typhoon Force Commander, hasn't been since 2021.

Heard Flame 11/12 heading to the Prince of Wales

Firecrest currently working Cape Wrath, I'm assuming 809 NAS as definitely F35 radio.

I will update the header list

That is two definitely heard from 809 - Firecrest and Flame unless anyone else has heard others.

Not sure which squadron, but "Dante" has been heard recently and today we`ve had "Leroy" and what sounded like "Jenkins", but it was hard to define the latter.

Ta have you got any dates ?

Dante sounds like 809NAS to me

I heard "Dante" on 13.11.24 (think it was "Dante 21 Flt"), then it was reported on FC as being heard in use on 14.11.24 as well.

"Leroy" and "Jenkins"?? both heard today, the 18th.

Post by **slogen51** » Mon Nov 18, 2024 6:25 pm

Jenkins has a navy context: Jenkins Ear etc

Post by **slogen51** » Wed Nov 20, 2024 3:15 pm

Yep Dante and Flame up again now
