Uses the callsign "Raven"? There is a flight of 2 tagged up on the radar display as Raven1. Just curious where our visitors came from. There are no A-10's based in Colorado.

I think the 175FG of the MD ANG out of Baltimore have used "RAVEN" before, but hopefully someone can verify that...

These are the 3 units this website shows using Raven, but it would make sense for the MD Hog unit to use it as well.

RAVEN LK C-130 314th AW, Little Rock AFB, AR
RAVEN SJ KC-10 4th Wing, Seymour-Johnson AFB, NC
RAVEN NH EA-6B VAQ-135, NAS Whidbey Island, WA

We used it to set up callsigns in FS2004 for the military AI

The data block on the display clearly ID'd it as a flight of 2 A-10's. The Army NG unit from Buckley uses Raven with it's Blackhawks, and that's not on the list.

I think a lot of units use the Raven callsign because it's one of those that dates back to WW-Nam CAS mission....like Misty.

The 175 WG does use Raven. They used to use Colt, but since 1996, its been Raven. Care to guess why?

Spec Ops C-130 just landed here. Opus86. It's not on the list linked above, but having worked in my chosen field for the amount of time I have, I can tell.

Im new to this site, but I am old as well. I was a Chief on the A-10a
many years ago. My main duty station was at Myrtle Beach AFB untill
1985. It was the 354TFW, I was a member of the 354AGS.
The unit was the 355AMU Fighting Falcons. Some of the hogs I worked on made an appearance during Desert Storm. I know most of you have more recent experience, but I was hoping some of my time served as
an official Master Of The Hog would be helpful.

But there are also so many of us "Old" ones around as well!

Okay I'll try again. CHISL10 a flight of 2 A-10's. Where might "Chisel" be from?

Right, Chisl is the 442.
