I would call it 'Cuckoo'

It can lay its 'eggs' in other peoples countries.

We would be cuckoo to buy it

And if you think it will ever work properly, you are in cloud cuckoo land.

Lark

The name has to be suitable for fighter pilots so how about the 'Lark'?

Just like its feathered relative, it makes a noise totally out of proportion to its size; when it is in the overhead, you'll know it is there but you cannot see it. It gets airborne when it likes and spends the whole time aloft yelling at the top of its voice: 'me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me'.

(Which would probably lead to it being called Casper.....the friendly ghost :\ )
