Okay, we now have the VA up and running and I know at least some of us like flying with the online flight networks.
So, here's the question -
What should the airline's ICAO code be and what should the Radio Callsign be?
My suggestion is -
CFS for the ICAO (Classic Flight Services as CBF is taken by Chnia Northern)
"Classic Flight" or maybe "Brit Flight"
Alternately, we can adopt a completely different callsign like "Quantum" or something like that as some airlines do (Chautaqua is one that I can think of who go by "Water Ski").

Hi,
I 'picked' CBF as 'ICAO' for FlyNET purposes as first 3 letters of CBFS, seemed easiest. It would be nice to keep 'CB' at least at the front of the 3 letters. I'm easy. 'Classic' has a nice ring to it for a callsign which was what I had always intended/hoped. Is there an active CBF with any of the VATC networks? If not, perhaps someone could 'do the rounds' and stake a claim lol. I know at eSKY individual pilots can call themselves by whatever callsign they wish so you could use CBF/Classic there without problems. I don't know about the rest.
Lets walk before we run. There is still a lot of footwork still to be done, not least of which is getting the aircraft onto the database and then building the route network.
