Military Callsigns

The Military Callsigns page is a searchable directory (currently 800+ entries) of military radio callsigns used by RAF, Royal Navy, Army Air Corps, USAF, and allied forces operating from or through the UK.

Columns

• Callsign — the spoken radio callsign (e.g. “Aces”).
• Aircraft — the aircraft type flying under that callsign, with its type code (e.g. “F-15E Eagle (F15)”).
• Airbase — the home airbase, where known.
• Service — the operating service (RAF, USAF, RN, AAC, RNAF, etc.).
• Description — the squadron or unit (e.g. “48th FW, 494th FS”).

Using the Table

Use the Filter box to search across all columns, click any column header to sort, and use the Show entries dropdown to control how many rows are shown per page.

New and changed callsign entries are listed on the Updates page along with every other dataset update, so check there for a history of what’s been added or amended. There’s no fixed refresh schedule — callsigns are added as soon as they’re confirmed, so the directory is updated continuously rather than in batches.

Airbase and unit details are shown where known, but military units move and re-role, and not every callsign in active use has been logged yet. If you spot a callsign that’s missing, incorrect, or out of date, submit it via the Submissions and Corrections page — select Submit A Callsign and include the callsign, aircraft type, and airbase or unit if known, plus a source if you have one
