Default "Brickyard" Call Sign in the Middle East

Isn't Brickyard a call sign for one of the RAH airlines? Recently, I have heard this call-sign spoken with an American accent while flying over Iraq. Does RAH do gov't contracts in RJ's out here? Or is it some military unit with a duplicate call-sign?

Or could be a brickyard pilot that used the wrong call sign. Old habits die hard.

And like many U.S. airline pilots they're already whining and crying about what we and the rest of the world owes them. Unlike some we've recently purchased they actually bring something to the table - a couple of shot down and restored predators.

It's a call sign for one of the operators over there.
Not a tanker squadron as far as I know, and definitely not RAH
