As someone who lives deep in koala habitat and even had one nose to nose with my dog through the glass door next to my desk a couple of nights ago, my only thought was whether it was wise to include the word "drop" in a commercial passenger aircraft name!

So do the least reliable aircraft get named the emu or penguin?
What about the Huntsman? I'm sure a 3 metre high decal of a spider plastered on the aircraft won't deter any pax.

Excellent idea. May I suggest the hairless wombat ? In homage to the dearly departed Alan Joyce. There’s a definite physical resemblance, and ‘eats, roots and leaves’ is a great description of his time at Qantas.
A photo submission for QF is added below. Hope they will give it consideration. They could name the plane - The Spirit of Alan Joyce.

The first one has an indigenous dot art livery designed by Pitjantjatjara artist Maringka Baker.
It arrived in YSSY yesterday from Mirabel and is, as I type, landing at YMML after a stop in YSCB
