Difficult to argue against its sales success. As for political correctness, don't see anything wrong with Jungle Jet or even Pencil Jet, Mork. Make it a private joke that you know how many thousand km away the factory is from the nearest jungle. What it's called in Brazil is something else altogether but, then you hardly see them in Brazil any more.

I wonder, though, if the designers of the Bandeirante ever imagined in their wildest dreams (thirty-odd years ago) that their hull would eventually be attached to jet engines.
