Phonetic alphabet -- dixie instead of delta?
The wikipedia article
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet) on phonetic alphabets says: "At some United States airports, the use of Delta for the letter D is avoided because it is also the callsign for Delta Air Lines. "Dixie" seems to be the most common substitute." The tower at HPN has been known to take liberties with the alphabet on Thanksgiving Day ("Advise you have information Turkey"), but I've never heard dixie. Is this really common usage?
