If I remember right we had to call someone at OKC to get the initial paperwork. The hardest part was getting ahold of the right person. When we finally did they sounded like they have been locked in a closet for 12 yrs. Lol.

Looks like you have to get a hold of your service area. I'm sure the FSDO can point you in the right direction, but here's a link all about it.

I get called FlexJet, FlightOptions, FlightExperience, and Flagship quite often in MSP. Which is funny since I'm the ONLY flight express plane up here and fly at the same time 5 nights a week. You think they'd learn!
Getting called flagship cracks me up. Yeah sure, CRJ at 8000 on an airway. haha

We tend to confuse centers we don't communicate with often.
L, J, Y... How do you say your callsign?

I do remember that now. The master of call signs is apparently a guy who has a lonely desk in the third subbasement waaaaaay over in the corner by the mop sink.
Once we did track him down he was nothing but helpful though

We get the Twister guys up here pretty frequently... only appropriate that they're usually in a Shorts 360.

We have a guy who can't remember most call signs to save his life, and he can't seem to figure out how to look them up, so he just asks whoever's nearby. We come up with some pretty creative ideas, and he buys it every single time. It sure keeps us entertained.
I have to say my favorite real call sign is Flying Olive, someone out of Spain. We see them a couple times a year. Makes me laugh whenever I see them.

No, that's Gay Top Gun. Not Top Gun. Top Gun is a shining example of 'merican fighting men. Lots and lots of men.

There was a female Marine WSO in my RAG class with that callsign. Yes she was hot.
That being said, personal callsigns are not used with ATC or anything you would hear on the radio. Squadrons will use ATC/admin callsigns that don't change, regardless of crew. Normally the number reflects the event number of the day, with wingmen going in sequential order. For example (a squadron that I haven't been a part of), VFA-11 would use "Ripper 11" "Ripper 12" "Ripper 13" and "Ripper 14" for a flight of four, on the first event of the day. Because they fly a family model jet, there would be 8 personal callsigns included in that flight, but those wouldn't be used on the radio.
