[Roland Pulfrew]

Hey Guys and Girls

How about this (http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123098797)

We've got 10 days to come up with something

Gutsy move by the USAF considering....:E

I though about KC45 Litigator

[D-IFF_ident]

I claim copyright on the name 'Augmenter'....

[chiglet]

USAF = Number,[preceded by Operational Role]
So, Hows about....
ET1 [European Tanker 1]
BTB1 [Better than Boing 1]
Worlds Airforces Nato Key Expects Respect
watp,iktch

[TOPBUNKER]

[charliegolf]

"Two short words"

Money Pit

CG

[Riskman]

KC-45A, Air Mobility Command makes me think........

AMoCo Kadiz;)

[Grey'npointy]

How about the KC-45A 'Viagra'? It helps you stay up for longer.:}

[Brain Potter]

"Extendeur"?

"Stratotankeur"?

But not "Entrepreneur" - because the French have no word for that

[L J R]

Texico. - it is what it will be called on thr radio anyway....

[ZH875]

KC-45A Over Priced

[Guzlin Adnams]

Cheese eating surrender monkey? :E

[Trumpet_trousers]

...happy to take more than 1 at a time from behind? :E

[The Real Slim Shady]

Cos if you fill it with fuel you double its value:rolleyes:

[wz662]

Apologies for taking this seriously but.....C45 = Expeditor therefore KC45 = Expeditor II

[Rotor Buddy]

How about the 'Enabler'...apparently they all have to start with an 'E'

RB

[spheroid]

Dave.... or has that been taken

[Melchett01]

Spheroid -

You know full well Dave has been taken by another US platform already. However, given the European heritage of their latest purchase, may I suggest something another suitable name that might even put previous bad feelings to rest:

The KC-45 Francois

[Skytrucker]

"Elephant"

[Skytrucker]

"or Euphemism"

[Cornerstone958]

Cash Point:\

[TyroPicard]

"EuroVictor"

[Flarkey]

The KC-45 Exxonerator :confused:

[jindabyne]

Wood Shaving Thingy

[BEagle]

€urotanker!

Or 'Alabama Mamma', seeing that it's to be built in Mobile, Alabama?

Or 'Supersizer'?

Or 'Un-Boeing'? :E

[Skytrucker]

"Evangelist".

Bound to get GW a round of applause that one, might even get him voted in!!:ooh:

[Skytrucker]

"Extraditor".

Then they can use it to fly innocent people to their deaths in concentration camps without a refuel in Prestwick.

[aviate1138]

€uroFueller

EasyGas

Going the Greek God route........

Epione the Nurse Goddess

Erebus the son of Chaos!

[Dan Gerous]

Pumpnotinuse

[Willard Whyte]

KC-45...

...Crew-Duty-Extender

...Overflowing-Toilet/Full-Nappy

[exscribbler]

KC45 Exacerbator? :E

[ZH875]

KC-45 Exchequer, so the Brits can borrow it and donate £££s to the Taxman.

[doubledolphins]

Well it's not a bus its a bowser so "Airbowser" Obvious realy. :ok:

[Occasional Aviator]

It doesn't start with an 'E', but since it can do boom and drogue refuelling on the same sortie, how about 'Ladyboy'?

[exscribbler]

It can't be Eric. That's the horse's name.

[Sentry Agitator]

He was the fastest.....in the west!

and we'll be able to call all the crews Bennies?

[cornish-stormrider]

Camel??

Balboa??

StratoJug??

[mr fish]

given the rapid increase in crude prices , how about the HALF FULL:} , i'll get me coat etc etc!!

[RB877]

Could sell it to Branson and allow it to become Virgin Tanker.

Then again after a FJ puts its probe in it I guess it wouldn't be!

I guess by that rationale VC10's should be renamed easytanker!

I'm leaving now!!!

[aemsalman]

KC45 Jerrycan

[D-IFF_ident]

I also claim dibs on the 'KC-45 Consolidator' - but I'm willing to let the license.

KC-45 Invasion Enabler
