Michael:
There is TACAMO and there is TACOMA  (like the  city in the State of 
Washington).
The nickname  for the E-6s is TACAMO (Take  Charge and Move Out), and it is 
the aircraft  model's nickname, not its  callsign.  Lately the TACOMA callsign 
(note  the difference in spelling) has  been used by commercial aircraft 
flying  North-South routes. I hear them almost  every day. So far I have not found  
out which airline or charter is using the  TACOMA callsign, but I am  trying. 
 
TACAMO E-6s never use TACAMO as a  callsign  anyway.
