I used the powers of investigoogle after we got to our destination and you are correct. They were all 2 seat models I believe.

May have been mentioned already, but several years ago I was out picking up a Phenom at the Reno races when all the planes were leaving. Heard an F-15 with a "JEDI xx" callsign. Awesome!

Spooky, Stinger and Spectre...AC-47, AC-119, and AC-130
Nimrod...A-26 Invader SEA
Knife...Special Ops CH-3 and CH-53's at NKP
and my personal favorites and the favorite of any one having an especially bad day at work.... Dustoff, King, and Jolly!

Spad,spooky,specter are still used today. My favorite call signs from over there were "bourbon" and "hammer", both for c130 variants. I also heard "knife" may be brought back. Thanks kingbird!
