I was wondering if anyone had a list of the callsigns for the different aircraft based at Kelly Field. It would help if the list also defined to which aircraft the callsigns belong to.

"UHAUL" is the call sign for the C-5's based at Kelly.

I do have two more questions. What aircraft uses the callsign "Luzon" (?) or "Ball"?

A fun way to answer your own questions is to do research on what aircraft types & flying squadrons are based at Kelly, then going there some day with your scanner & finding a legal vantage point to actually see the aircraft that you're hearing on the radio as they're arriving/departing Kelly.
Wow. That's an old post. Anyway, I don't live anywhere near Kelly, but their aircraft pass through College Station-Easterwood frequently. I do know that "Lancer" is commonly used for B-2s and "Ball" is used for B-52s. As for "Luzon", I have narrowed that down to either F-15s, F-16s, or F/A-18s.

"LANCER" is the official nick-name of the B-1 bomber, so any LANCERs heard are probably B-1s out of Dyess, not B-2s.
Right. I couldn't remember which one. They did a flyover once for July 4th and I knew it was a B-52 and some other bomber.

While I'm at it, you might want to try to reconfirm that the BALL aircraft you hear are B-52s. I don't have my callsign list in front of me here, but I'm kinda guessing they'd be T-1 trainers or something like that.
