I would name mine "Speedy Gonzales." After the fast little mouse that came out in cartoons.

I'd have to spend some time with it to see what characteristics stood out so as I could come up with a name.

When I was a crewman in Patrol Squadron FIFTY (The Blue Dragons) our crew wanted to go with Dragon-ass Airlines, but for some weird reason, the skipper wouldn't buy off on that.

Go Figure!

If you ever used Aviator's Breathing Oxygen after a night out in Ologopo, you might be in Naval Aviation.

Ok, if I am in a bomber, fighter, or transport, the names would be a little different I think.
Bomber -b-24 15th Airforce, Megan's Fire, with noce art of a Pritty Redhead
Fighter, Spitfire, Princess Elizabeth, the Royals stayed home, she was a classy girl even so young. Or maybe St. Paul's that big church stayed standing.
Transport, PBM-5 Morean -Art work of Mrs. O'Haira on nose.

So all a bit much? Please let me know.

Hmmm depends on the kind of plane for me.

Bomber would be: Archangel
Fighter: Wicked Knight or Baby Mine
Night fighter: Carpenoctem
Dive bomber: Comet (plunging towards earth, like a dive bomber o.O)
