Names could impart more information about the aircraft (like model numbers sometimes do) if they were a little more descriptive, not wistfully hoping to emulate a magnificent jungle animal.
Any suggestions? here's my go:
I would like to propose that the MD 900 be called the "Starbug". It looks just as ugly as that craft from Red Dwarf. Especially from high/rear view
And how about the A109 "Hanger Queen"? Perhaps not the name the factory would choose but I know one or two who would endorse it.
Or the R44 "Starter-ring-breaker" - or is that just Nick's machine?
