F1GHTS-ON Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 I'm not an expert in voice recognition, but in the F14, "Jester" works really well with my Queen' s English. However, "Iceman" fails more often than not. (I've even added the script "eyes man" to try and get it to work. So my contribution to this thread is a name (for both front and back) is something that works for those of us that can't afford fancy,multi button joysticks and instead have to rely heavily on voice activated commands to get the RIO/WSO/NAV/PILOT to do what we want. ,

BMGZ06 Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) It should be - " Willie" as others have said for William Driskoll since the only other Vietnam WSO ace was named...Jeff "Fang" Feinstein. I think the choice is clear here. Also " WIllie" will not only help you kill Migs but he can normally weld anything and swap a engine in a 59 Camaro in under 4 hours. A "Jeff Feinstein" does your taxes or checks your prostate.

Sorry if I'm being (again) picky... it's Driscoll, and the Ace of Aces for the US in the Vietnam war was a WSO, Charles "Chuck" DeBellevue, with 6 kills... there were actually more backseater aces than pilot aces in Vietnam. 1

carss Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 For the Naval Phantom, how about Jack for tribute to Captain John C "JACK" Ensch who was the RIO to Captain Ronald "MUGS" McKeown during the Vietnam war. They both flew off the Midway and once during a Vietnamese ambush managed to do a backflip to counter a Mig-17 closing in on them [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry:
Dragon1-1 Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 Naval stays Jester, it wasn't an uncommon career path to start out on Phantoms and move to Tomcats later on. We're naming the USAF guy. 1

Es for nicknames for WSO / RIO here is something useful https://aviationhumor.net/the-100-most-creative-pilot-callsigns-with-explanations/ For WSO I Like ALF - Annoying little F*** and ECM - Enlisted Chick Magnet For NAVY - FORD – Found On Road Dead.
