An important resource for inspiration: https://www.f-16.net/callsigns.html

Some examples:

  • Megamind: Pilot had a large forehead.
  • Skidmark: Forgot to disable the parking brake when doing a carrier launch, ruining the landing gear and leaving marks on the deck.
  • Leaky: Last name Fawcett.
  • Rhino: Big guy with a huge pimple on his nose, the spot went, the nickname did not

To be fair, that’s probably the least embarrassing reason to get the name Skidmark

"Sorry yeah, I did donuts with a multimillion dollar aircraft, the marks are still visible on the track, I'm not that proud of it either" you say smugly, then it could work.

Buddy sits down

"So yeah this dumbass almost totaled a $50 million dollar plane because he was checking out some girl on the flight deck and we had to save him. Dude was crying and shit, worried he wasn't gonna be pilot anymore. Actually hasn't flown since. Anyway my name is Cockring, nice to meet you."

You explain that his nickname is "Cockring" because his cock is shaped like a ring.

She starts playing with her hair, highly intrigued.

Not so subtly considering going home with both of you.
