    Call Sign

    Who is Airspeed (Air Speed)? I hear JFK Ground talking to a Air Speed "Heavy" (maybe Flt#141) around 8:30pm.
    Spotters have been Homeland Security before HS was a glimmer in the president's eye.

    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    I don't think they would have a call sign airspeed, since that is one of the terms they use......Delta.......reduce your air speed by 10 knots, etc.

    I believe Eric might be correct. However, referring to Zee's point, wouldn't Aerosvit sound close to "air speed" as well? I'm not knocking you, I actually think you brought up a very valid concern.
