For those of you outside aviation, general aviation aircraft usually use their registration ID when communicating with air traffic control. In the USA, those callsigns start with "N" followed by some numbers and a couple letters (N404BS, N501RW, N1AU). In Dubai, they start with A6 and then usually 3 letters (A6ALP, A6FDB). In other countries, it will be all letters--up to 7 (HGSTVEK...pronounced Hotel, Golf, Sierra, Tango, Victor, Echo, Kilo). It can be a mouthful, even when we shorten it to the first 2 letters and the last 2 letters.
But every now and then, you get a pretty cool callsign.
