Little Red 22 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I found my old book of International Code of Signals and was wondering if signal flags are still used in maritime operations, and if any helicopter pilots have experience with their use when working offshore? If so, are there any entertaining code messages specific to helicopters? (Just curious about the history and current use of signal flags.....I'm doing a pirate theme Halloween party and helicopters have to be included). Thanks!🚁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroscout Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 The USN still uses flag signaling extensively as well as semaphore use. They have a whole rate dedicated to the signalman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
