Sqwak in avation terms refers to a transponder ident number.
However I dont believe that 7700 means anything. I believe 777 is hijacking.
Basically, to identify planes on the towers radar screen, the tower will ask a pilot to "sqwak" a number. The pilot enters the number in thier transponder and that transponder echos that number back to the tower in the next radar ping.
Quoting: Floobarb the Argnorf Didn't see your post when I posted mine. 7500 is hijacking.
