His reason for the name is actually fair enough 😂😂😂

I love that Will is straight up wearing a jacket like a WWII pilot while the others have standard jet pilot gear lol!

[pete]

I’ve been a fighter pilot for 8 years, and I can tell you this is 100% accurate

[adrunkgorillawithalobotomy]

Will Ferrell's ability to stay absolutely serious is an amazing comedic trait. He can stay serious in the situations where everyone else would be breaking character. LOL.

[JoeMama-bwyc]

How the hell does Will keep a straight face in this one?

[HntaigK]

Will Ferrell had the most realistic callsign out of the bunch. Only the truly badass get awarded cool callsigns by their squadron mates.

2:02 totally missed an opportunity to say "we're in the Air Force, not the Swear Force."

I'll be awaiting your call, Lorne.

Anything Will Ferrell touches is gold.

[discodevil]

"Im Wild Card"
"Sidewinder"
"Viper"
Penis"
And Im On The Floor Dying

“A pilot’s callsign is very serious”

Examples of actual call signs.
“Piggy”, “Nofox” Given, a woman called “Nuts”... they are literally all jokes!

[excarman]

Love Will Farrell keeping a straight face, hilarious 😂

[TexasTrojanPony]

I’d like to know the names that were considered and rejected

‘Watch your language, We are in the Air Force not the Navy’
-missed opportunity

[DJSwedee]

I thought she was going to say, "Cox Out."

[justanopinionsincerelynoof]

Will Ferrell, even after all these years, still is able to steal the show!😄

[seanmortell]

“I want an enemy to be scared when they see me on his tail”

Few seconds later “I’m unintentionally upside down”

[alenor]

I feel bad for the poor intern who was (probably) tasked with the job of getting a custom made fighter pilot jacket with the words "Clown Penis" on it.

[DN]

When I saw Cecily's name tag said "Cox" I was waiting for the joke about it... it never came.

[pingchen]

YOU DON’T GET TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN CALLSIGN!

Probably so this doesn’t happen, and also you can’t give yourself an overly badass name

[Jaco]

Anyone else notice that Honolulu Ground Control's name is "COX"?
