Cathay’s 100th Aircraft!!!
 

So lets have some fun with this. Cathay needs a name to put on the side of the fuselage.

It’s an Airbus A330! Also names if it were a 744 or a 777.

The Bus is going to take a thrashing over this me thinks.

In honour of Phillip, we should name it “MAXIS”. You can still get a cake onboard.

Or "Hanger Queen", sorry thats the A340-600.

"Heavy Bullet" if it was a 747F.:)

Whole different meaning of clearing the other end at 15’ or 35’. That’s the 747 Classic. That is with or without 1 eng inop. Don’t think the engines will carry you that far.

But what is a name:????

“Glutless Classic” or “Scream for the End”

I always thought it would be awesome to name your ac after girls, so you could say "who you ridin today" " Um....Betsy I think" "Man she's a sweet ride though" "Yup, nothin like riding a fat chick"
And so on.

LOL. LOL.

I used to have an old work Van I used to call it HOS.

Seems fitting for the new Airbus.......

....Heap Of S###t !! :}

(sorry Airbus drivers!!!):ok:

well...a bit like the Qantas one, but how about "I still call Hong Kong home", or is it better to say "I still call China home"?:uhoh:

A330 or A340
 

I thought it was A340??? :rolleyes:

Silberfuchs
Nice one!
I nominate it to be called Plastic Fantastic.

There will be no additional A340s joining the Cathay fleet. Only A330s, 77Ws and 744s.

Paint it Yellow!

"We earned 3.3 billion in profits last year, wormed our way out of paying any profit share to our employees, and all I got was this lousy paint job..."


though that might be a tad too long to fit lengthwise on a 333...

100th Aircraft....


Call it "Centurion" and send it to Rome.
Call it a "Great Century at Bat" and send it to London.
Call it "0.000000000001%" and send it to Shanghai to represent the population.

If its a 747F call it "Tonnage" and send it to USA, and watch them scractch their heads wondering how many 1000kg to the lb.
:ok:

Drone
 

They could call it Drone, cause if they don't get their training figured out they won't be able to get any pilots for it !

Dragon eye?:E

Perhaps 'The Pineapple' would be most appropriate............:cool:

BETSY'S BUS!!!!!

'Gweilo GO GO'

'AD'
Quite an appropriate registration for an Airbus.

Here's the choice
 

The winning name is..."Progress Hong Kong."

Not quite as zippy as some of the suggestions on this thread...

ROTFLMAO!!

100th Aircraft Name?

"2005-Profit-Share":}

OK, how about "Pisang Balik"

Indonesian for "Inverted Banana"...white on the outside...

I see... so it goes something like this....

Betsy
Nikki
Progress Hong Kong

....yeap - great english name...............NOT:ugh:

"Progress Hong Kong" does have a nice ring to it, NOT ! :mad:

They should have named it after the most used book on the bus

MELanie :ugh:

No100 should have been called BART.

HaHaHa... I'll pay that Underpants!!!

Well, I went to spot its arrival the other day...and got some quite okay pictures (clearer than the ones on CX website):

It looks very nice in my opinion!:)

Change your opinion.
Then you could be normal.

What are those brown skid marks, near where the honey cart plugs in? Maybe it should be called "Dia-Rear"
