The NM Air Guard are the "Taco's"..

So I've noticed something with call signs. Last names can be involved in the process.

A buddy of mine has the last name of Talley, call sign "Whacker".
Another friend has the last name of Herd , call sign "Buffalo".
I was at an airshow once and the guy doing the F-16 demo had a foreign name that sounded like "Rancheros" call sign, "Heuvos".
