Alpha
Bravo
Charlie
Delta
Echo
Foxtrot
Gamma

Tango
Whisky

BadKarma

Im sure it's not, maybe us Canucks have a differant one.

FieryHaloed

Some countries do change a few of the letters. "I" might be Indigo instead of India, or "J" could be Juno. But that one is the one used by NATO.

BigMadSteve

Your right it is the one used by NATO. There are plenty more.

i've also seen "gulf" for G. But yeah, the last post is correct.

When I did stuff in the Airforce it was India, and Im a police Dispatcher now as my part time job and I use India, India is also the word used for world aviation. Maybe indigo is from an other nations code, or a local police alphabet.
Those are always different.
Such as substitution of "Boy" for "Bravo" etc.

Its entirely possible someone uses Indigo but I assure you its another system. Not the Nato Standard one or the international aviation one which are the same and most commonly used.
