The following is a list of radio callsigns used in the Dreamland airspace (NTTR and surrounding MOAs). Aircraft include flights out of Area 51 and TTR, as well as various other locations such as Edwards AFB, Travis AFB (tankers) and others. My logs only go back to 2019, so where "first heard" shows a month in 2019 the callsign may be in use much longer.

Before 02/2021 aircraft talking to Area 51 tower or control used an alternate call sign. There were two "call signs of the month," one for Janets and one for mission aircraft. Both call signs changed every month. Since 02/01/2021 these alternate call signs are no longer used. Janets now identify as "Janet" on the Area 51 tower frequency and most Area 51 mission aircraft now use the "Sabre" call sign. For historic purposes below is a list of alternate call signs used in the past.
