Most people think "Maverick" or "Iceman" when they hear pilots callsigns. In my experience, I know guys named "Britches" or "Faceshot". Can you explain in general how pilots really get their callsigns, how they are actually used and...if you're brave enough, how you got yours?
EDIT: Holy crap guys-I throw up what I thought would be a fun gimme question, then had to spend the rest of the day doing warrant service in the pouring rain to come back to Gold. Thanks so much!
