Besides Portcall, I think the others were Paddy, Peacock, Paris and Panama. Did I miss any? The only place that I did NOT know people working there, were Portcall and Peacock. I was taking a handoff from Paris one day, and the dude told me the aircraft was popeye. I told him I wouldn’t take the aircraft until the aircraft was in VFR conditions. He was stunned. Later, when I was at Laughlin, I worked with a guy, and I told him his voice sounded familiar, and I asked him if he had worked at Paris. He said he did indeed. Small world, wouldn’t you say?

Just a few more... Pyramid at Dalat, Waterboy at Dong Ha on the DMZ (only one that didn’t start with a “P”. When a typhoon blew Waterboy away they rebuilt at Quang Tri and called it Pamper. Very small world. I’d never be able to tell a guy by the kind of radios we had. They were terrible much of the time.
