Is there any relevance to the callsign LOBO01 on a USN C-9B please?
Dave.

[Runway 31]

I don't know the relevance Dave but it has been used by them for years.

Dave,

According to the USAF call sign list, LOBO is used for aircraft relating to 4 different bases :

Hi all,

LOBO01 161530 C-9B did climb from 22500 to 30000 feet close to the south German/Swiss Border today. It is still active with VMR-1

Greetings Rolf

I was just wondering if LOBO "01" was the head honcho or similar.
