P38 Pilots name for the F-35.

[P38 Pilot]

Thankyou to those who agree with my name. Alder, I thought it was a good name meaning that you dont have to like it. Damn Alder. You take things to the extreme...

Look, I love the P-38 Lightning. But I feel that the Military should make a new name for joint strike fighers.

Plus once in service some one somewhere within a week would start calling it a shithawk

[P38 Pilot]

It wont sound like shithawk. You know, I had an opinion of what it should be called. Its not like their going to name it Strikehawk. Its jsut that when ever I make a suggestion, Alder distorts it and turns anything I say against me and brings other people in as well.

Look Alder, its my opinion. You may not like it but you didnt have to make a thread critizing my opinion on what the F-35 should be named.

P-38 you need to relax. Chris is just fooling with you. You are getting all worked up over nothing. Chris is just laughting his butt off at your responses b/c of the way you react to them. The answer to that is simple..... don't react all ticked off. Roll with it, joke with him, laugh at yourself, ignore it. Everytime you react it just makes him laugh and want to do it more.

As a side you note you will never win vs him b/c he holds all the cards. He is older, wiser, smarter, worldly (that does count lol) and above all he is a MOD. Just relax! I say this to you not to be rude or insulting but to try and help you. If someone if this world gets to you simply don't let them, or else you are letting them win.

Relax Dude, smile, laugh, respond with a witty comment, think about what you say before you say it, but never get mad b/c if you do you have lost already.

Sorry P38 Strikehawk sounds like a make of matches, although I think any name is better than just a letter and number P38, P51 ect means zip but give a plane a name and it gives it a personality Lightning, Spitfire, Thunderbolt etc.
I think if it is going to have a name it should be unique with no links to past aircraft names.

[P38 Pilot]

Hunter, why should I laugh with him about an idea of mine? All im saying is that whenever I say or do something, its always turned against me. Laughing at myself will make it out like im a fool. Its easier said when your not in my position

Actually the term Sh*t Hawk was not originally from Adler, it was from the canadian members, because we Canucks all remember Mr Lahey's little speech to Bubbles and Ricky about the Sh*t Hawks spearheading the The Sh*t storm

[cheddar cheese]

Strikehowk isnt a terrible name, Its better than the other 2, but its not amazing. If you wanna carry on the bird theme go prehistoric, like Pterodactyl or Archeopteryx or something

Superstar!?!?!?! Why not just paint it pink and have big hearts for roundels aswell!

[trackend]

Actually its not Sh*t Hawk its pronounced Shyt Hawk, ask any vet from the north Africa campaign and they'll tell you all about the Shyt Hawks that kept nicking their grub.

P38 the only reason you get picked on is cause you bite. ignore it.
I'm only saying that because if you are still serious about becoming a squaddie your life will be total toilet if you are not thick skinned. It's bad enough in civvy life when you start work but a bunch of pumped up crap hats (anyone soldier not in the paras (their phrase not mine)) will crucify you.

The F-22 was originally going to be called Lightning 2 as well, that's what everyone was calling it around the mid to late 90s. I have reference books from the time with that name and there was even a computer game with the same name.
IGN: F-22 Lightning 3

The F-16 is officially the Fighting Falcon, which is crap, so it ends up being called the Viper by many people instead.

Or the A-10A Thunderbolt, actually not that bad of an official name, but slightly inappropriate for the aircraft, so it ends up as Warthog instead, which is more fitting in a way.

Then the F-111 which is apparently the Aardvark, which is ridiculous, and ends up being called the Pig instead.

I still think Storm is the best name for the F-35 and Strike Hawk isn't that stupid, the F-15E is the Strike Eagle after all.

Good point. But a little bite woundn't be bad at times...

Thankyou, I could not have said it better. The only reason I pick on P38 is because of the way he reacts. It is funny and a good laugh. If he did not let me get to him, I would not pick on him.

P38 the only reason I pick on you is because you make it so easy. The way your present yourself in some threads like an all knowing being when you really dont know what you are talking about makes it real easy. Also when I pick on you, you get all butt hurt like a woman! If you were not so easy to pick on, I would not do so.

Oh and Trackened made a very good point and take this from my experience, if you are letting me get to you so much then you will in now way form or fashion make in the military. What I am doing is 100% the military way of life except that in the military it is 100 times worse and more vulgar. If you get your panties in a bunch from this little bit of poking fun at you, then you are either going to:

1. Run and cry to Drill SGT "Please Drill SGT I want to go home! Where is my Mommy!"

2. Kill Yourself.

3. Not have any friends in the army and have a very miserable life, especially when you are deployed to a combat zone.

Oh and I forgot P38 this thread was not meant to be taken serious, it was all meant in jest.
