Let the games begin...

"Fury" is not too bad, since four out of five of the UK-US operators already flew a Fury - granted, they were three completely different aircraft...

I'd say Crusader is definitely out :E

But then, what about a famous fighter...

... its name known to millions of people, its best-known pilot a cultural icon...

that was used by the predecessors of the RAF, the FAA and the USAF...

I think 'Steve' or 'Gary' would work.

rafloo 19th May 2006 13:52

Well, it cant be a Pheonix or Lynx as we already have those....


How about Colin ?

I think Robin, because it's clear by the cost of the thing that the mfr has been doing very well out if it.

WhiteOvies 19th May 2006 15:29

We've had Kestrel all ready too.
There's a missile called Shrike so I think thats out.
Whilst chatting my boss has suggested Dave.:p

Jackonicko 19th May 2006 15:35

With its looks and usefulness, Seamew, Firecrest, or Baffin.

Or Buffalo for the Yanks and Cow for us.

Or Benny.

Just This Once... 19th May 2006 15:35

Colin

Steve

Gary

I'm finding it hard to choose.

Murkin.

Or perhaps the Gimp.

WhiteOvies 19th May 2006 15:41

Jackonicko - Seacow for the RN? (Cashcow for BAe etc...)

Before BEagle suggests it - Vulcan?
Before WEBF suggests it - Buccaneer?

Am warming to the F-35 Dave.

Gainesy 19th May 2006 15:48

Kevin and/or Sea Kevin.

Capt Pit Bull 19th May 2006 15:48

Dave, I can't let you do that.

How about Hal.

Daede1 19th May 2006 15:50

The Rodney

Gainesy 19th May 2006 15:53

That'd go down like a lead balloon.

WhiteOvies 19th May 2006 15:56

Capt P-B
Something with that many computers named Hal? Would you fly it?:\

6Z3 19th May 2006 15:58
