Mama's Boy
-
My uncle flew a P-47 Thunderbolt during WWII and during training he was supposed to put the plane in a dive and pull out before hitting the ground. None of the guys were getting close enough to the ground for the commander so when it was my uncles turn he came too darn close to the ground and the prop clipped some cresote bushes on the ground . This was at Edwards Air base in CA. Needless to say he got in plenty of trouble for it and had to spend the day walking the perimeter of the base . While he was walking the perimeter, my grandmother showed up to see him, so obviously from there on he was nicknamed MAMAS BOY.

Mayo

The guy didn't really mind about food which is supposed to be bad for you. Fast food, pizza, chinese food...the list goes on and that's all he ate. The man did have an amazing G-tolerance though!

M.I.L.F.
-
It's a long story that I cant go into detail in this forum.

Mace
-
Individual goes to take a shot of listerine mouth spray and she misses her mouth, gets "it" in the eye and was temporarily blinded and had to go to the flight doc... hence she maced herself.

Maddog
-
Got it during UPT, partly for my last name and then it stuck for getting into a few bar fights. It became offical during my first fighter assignment in Korea after getting into a bar fight with a small grouup of dudes while TDY at the "GOO" Taegu. The krusty major I was with retold the story during roll call and it has stayed with me surviving WW Gulf War I, and Kosovo....

poor sense of direction

Magnet

Because I'm always too far from the formation. Ironic.

First name Joe. It has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
-
Marilyn
-
Capt. M. Monrowe
-
Marlin
-
The name marlin comes form the old TV show Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. hosted by Marlin Perkins. Since my last name is Perkins, it fit very well within my name so they all started calling me Michael "Marlin" Perkins
-
Martini

Capt. Wermuth
-
Marx
-
First name was Karl, and he hated communists.
-
Master

Col. Daniel Bader... 'nuff said. At one point during an Air Staff Tour, a well meaning bird colonel tried to change it to "Darth" but that didn't stick.
-
Master
-
My last name's Bator
-
Mastur
-
Claimed he never pleased himself
-
Maximun
-
Called Maximum Max by the squadron commander he was always flying the edge resulting in frequent breakdowns. His bird spent more time in the maintenance hanger that it ever spent on the flight line or in the air.
-
McFly
-
He was always late for stuff, just like Marty McFly in Back to the Future. This way, it worked out nice, so someone could say "Hello?! Anybody home McFly?!"

McFly

First name Martin, and only 1m65 .. go figure
-
Meathook
-
I guess you can figure that one out....while on the "team" I could pick up girls rather fast and would introduce them to the boys.
I did this a few times and was told I could "hook the meat", it soon turned into a new nickname - Meathook -
-
Merkin
-
Just look it up!
-
Meteor
-
As a 1LT doing night intercepts in the F-4D in Spain, I was the target and flew my target run at 45000 feet in full AB so that I could go back to the club and drink beer. The (unsuccesful) interceptor saw me go overhead with the AB illuminating my contrail and said that "it looked like a f***ing meteor going overhead".
-
Midnight
-
After a loopy evening with the boys at an establishment of ill-repute, I woke up next to a large woman of African-American descent....she was NOT pretty....her stripper name was "Midnight".
-
Mikey
-
Capt Mike Crandall. From the cereal commercial: "Mikey will do/eat anything". Referred to his willingness to help out his squadron mates or maybe something deeper he didn't want to get into.
-
Moe Lester
-
Brother in law flew the 16 in Korea. Went out with a girl there who turned out to be a 16 y/o and from then on he was called Moe Lester. They didn't want to put molester on his helmet, so they gave it a "proper" name. He had 3 variants, "Moe", "Lester", and of course "Moe Lester".
-
Mofo
-
It means what you think it means... yes she was old
-
MoGas
-
Nearly ran out.

Mongo

Because it reflects that I'm tan, a little hairy, and tenacious in my flight execution!
-
Moondawgie
-
From the movie charactor Moondoggie, beach bum dude from 1955 movie. Still flying F-16s.
-
Moses
-
Had an F-16A go stupid on me with FLCS pitch failure and 11 months later had one eat its own (sts) engine and deadsticked into a county airport. After second Viper Incident (not accident), the Ops O said that since Moses was the biblical Chosen One, that I was henceforth "Moses". Besides, it fits with my last name of Noah....
-
MOTO
-
Master Of The Obvious. Every squad/pilot group has one of these jack'azzez
-
Mounds
-
My personal favorite. This call sign belongs to one of our female pilots in the 195FS. She said it means: " Almond Joy has nuts, Mounds doesn't". (Almond Joy is a chocolate/coconut candy bar with almond nuts from Hershey's, while Mounds is the same candy bar but without almond nuts)
-
Mozam
-
As in Mozambique/Mozam-beak... someone with a huge nose
-
Mr. P
-
Well endowed... Also fit with his last name, Portman.
-
Mr.O's
-
My last name is Mros so people who can't say my last name right call me Mr.O's
-
Murdock
-
I was called Murdock by my F16 instructor, capt (now general)Dick 'Quicky' Berlijn... why?.... Well I had a small resemblance with Murdock from the then popular TV Sitcom the A-team.
