Choice of Names for JSF Narrows

[cheddar cheese]

F-35 "F*cking hardcore" is the best...

 

[evangilder]

Phoenix is a designation on a missile, Chief.

 

[Chief]

and civilian plane Manufacturer. I looked it up I still like the name though, but still can't be used.

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

you contradict ur own statement

 

[Chief]

No. You can like something you can't use.

 

[Glider]

I still like Tempest as an alternative name. Calling it Lightning II or anything II, shows a lack of imagination.

Neither is copying Brit F/A aircraft names from WWII! I personally would be ashamed if they named it the Spit II. Same with using the Brit tradition of naming after a type of storm, ie Cyclone.

Just hope it doesn't get a gay adjective in front... like the Fighting Falcon. Everyone just calls it Falcon. We could have the Whirly Cyclone... that sounds nice

But why isn't everyone this excited about the AH-1Z and UH-1Y!!! These are ACTUALLY going to do something!

How about Wolverine?

 

[Chief]

I think it would sound better on either a prop. plane or a helicopter. Whether you take the name to mean the animal or the X-man.

Or some sort of transport vehicle or tank.

 

[daishi12]

I was thinking the animal, 'cos it's a nasty little sod with a mean bite.

 

[Chief]
