We have one like that at Patrick. Last week when Air  Transport 540 was 
landing, the Patrick tower operator IDd the acft to other  traffic in the pattern 
as a DC-9. The ATA 540 pilot quickly corrected the tower,  IDing as a DC-8.  
Quite a difference. This same tower operator gets fixated  on one callsign and 
will call ALL the acft in the area by that same  callsign.  This guy is 
TERRIBLE.
