Editing Aviator call sign (section)

===Television===
* [[Dwight Schultz]]'s Captain [[H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock]], from the 1983 television series ''[[The A-Team]]'' (as well as his counterpart in the [[The A-Team (film)|2010 film adaptation]], as portrayed by [[Sharlto Copley]]) is a gifted, albeit insane, can-fly-anything pilot.  Aptly named, Murdock displays symptoms of mental instability, as demonstrated by his weekly obsessions (ranging from inanimate objects to role playing). Whether or not he is in fact insane is often debated, due to demonstrations in his fine tuned skills of acting and mimicry.
* In the 1993 [[Animated cartoon|animated]] television series ''[[SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron]]'', the main characters Chance Furlong and Jake Clawson have the call signs "T-Bone," and "Razor," respectively. Although their call signs are technically their SwatKAT aliases, they frequently refer to each other by their call sign even when not flying.
* In the 1995 TV series ''[[JAG (TV series)|JAG]]'', the lead character, Harmon Rabb, is given the name "Pappy" due to the fact that he is the oldest pilot in his squadron. This is later changed to 'Hammer' which was his father's Vietnam War call sign—a mark of respect.
* In the 2004 television series ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', a number of the ''Galactica'''s crew had call signs. [[William Adama]] (portrayed by [[Edward James Olmos]]) had "Husker".<ref name="FrakYou">{{cite book |last1=Storm |first1=Jo |title=Frak You!: The Ultimate Unauthorized Guide to Battlestar Galactica |year=2007 |publisher=ECW Press |isbn=9781554903016 |page=150 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SKNWjww7V88C&pg=PA150 |language=en}}</ref>[[Lee Adama]] ([[Jamie Bamber]]) had "Apollo".<ref name="FrakYou"/> [[Kara Thrace]] ([[Katee Sackhoff]]) had "Starbuck"<ref name="FrakYou"/> and [[Karl Agathon]] ([[Tahmoh Penikett]]) had "Helo."<ref name="FrakYou"/> Sharon Valerii ([[Grace Park (actress)|Grace Park]]) had two personas and a call sign for each: "Boomer" for [[Sharon Valerii]] and "Athena" for [[Number Eight (Battlestar Galactica)#Sharon "Athena" Agathon|Sharon Agathon]].<ref name="FrakYou"/> In the [[Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series)|original 1978 series]] on which the 2004 series was based, many of these were the characters' actual names, rather than call signs.<ref name="FrakYou"/>
