I've heard pilots refer to them as choppers/aeroplanes/helos etc. and no bolt of lightning came crashing out of the sky to smote them down... Personally, I'd prefer it though, if the pronouns "her" and "she" were only used when discussing the female of a species.. Just my opinion

The 500 is sleek and swift, probably not divine though, I'm not sure manufacturers can engineer that in to a bird.
