Thanks guys. I really do appreciate the help. Though I think a lot of those call signs are definitely 'Too Cool' and will be getting changed.
I'd rename 'Heartbreak One' to 'Mule' because he's apparently as stubborn and ornery as said animal.
'Edge' would be the short version of his name, the longer one being 'Edgelord'.
'Paladin' would probably wind up being called 'Geneva' because of how he'll look after downed enemy pilots.
'Maniac'.... 'Showboat' for obvious reasons.
'Bluehair'.... 'AJ' for 'A.J. Squared Away'.
'Angel' winds up being called 'Detour' because she's caused at least two accidents on the flight line from people rubbernecking her as she walked by.
'Blaze' becomes 'Fire Sale' because 'Everything Must Go'.
'Archer' becomes 'Weasel' for being so good at 'Wild Weasel'.
....Captain Ford will get to rejoice in the moniker 'Cockroach' because they haven't come up with a mission that would kill him yet. (Inspired by that one scene from Apocalypse Now... You know the one.
)
'Chopper' will be called 'Cowboy' because of how that would offend the fuck out of his hip-hop sensibilities and his reliance on bullets rather than missiles.
'Maverick' (Top Gun) will be known as 'Mouth' because of how he manages to talk himself out of the trouble he gets into.
'Goose'.... No change there, but instead of a back-seater, he'll be Mouth's wingman.
'Iceman' is way too cool. Let's call him 'Eskimo' instead.
'Viper' will be called 'Snake'. ("Snake? Snake!? SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!")
'Jester' will instead be known as 'Jokey' because his presents are of the explosive variety.
'Wolfman' will be known as 'MJ'.
'Merlin' -> 'Dumbledore', natch.
'Slider' becomes 'Wimpy' because Slider -> Burger.
'Hollywood' -> 'Glam-man'
'Cougar' becomes 'Jitters' because one close call left him jittery for a week.
'Stinger' shall be 'Bumblebee' - you should never underestimate the smallest Autobot.
'Sundown' will be 'Visor' because of a particularly hair raising moment where he couldn't get his visor down.
I'll need to sit down and watch Iron Eagle and Flight of the Intruder. But for your fighter thief? Guano. Because he was bat-shit crazy and afterwards was up to his neck in it.
