SPAR Callsign blocks

Post by Robin »

Hi

Has anyone worked out the "SPAR" callsign blocks against squadrons/airfields, especially the ones outside Europe???

Some aircraft use static callsigns on a regular basis,but not always:
310Th As SPAR 28 01-0028,SPAR 29 01-0029,SPAR 30 01-0030
65Th As SPAR 55 C-40B 01-0015,SPAR 65 C-37A 01-0065

457Th As.458Th As,200 As,311Th As,118Th As,172Nd As,177Th As C-21A Typically use 3 digit callsigns assigned by TACC, otherwise they use their squadron static callsigns.

Many thanks for your reply.

Yes have noticed the static callsigns often used. Even 375 AMW (457 & 458 AS) use static callsigns this year on some flights.

However my interested in really in the callsign blocks for each unit i.e.

932AW using the very low SPAR numbers 01 to possible 23
6AW using the next block up
86AW using the next block of callsigns

and so on

with of course 375AMW using the high SPAR numbers

any others info on this piltonman6012???

anyone else got any thoughts on this matter, or extra info on the callsign blocks used by different unit?????

Spar89 is most of the time a C-12 on a transit flight from Conus to the middle east or the other way.

Many thanks re info on SPAR89 wondered what it was up to, presume SPAR90 is the spare callsign????

Thanks Razor23.

Yes I agree in most parts think you will find that 375AW, with its Detachments at various airfields callsigns go up to 999, but even this unit still often uses squadron static callsigns, when TACC issues no assign flt number.

Curious about the Callsign SPAR 01 to 09, have some theories????

Also after full callsign "SPAR" block for 15thAW/65 AS operating out of Hickam AFB, Hawaii ??????

This callsign may have been superceded by Titus 89,as heard on the last 2 Far East Embassy C-12 deliveries.

They use Spar 55 for the C40 01-0015 and Spar 65 for the C37A 01-0065.
