How would you name your plane?

[Snautzer01]

As perhaps a few will know i put up heads up for nose art. Most do have a link to the name givers personal life. Girlfriend name, mothers name, cartoon names you name it.

I wondered if, i was in that situation and was allowed to name a plane what i would have named it. Given the fact one could have died in it.
There is no limit. No airplane no country.

And no correct period name. So 1930 till now.

For me it either will be :

1. Have you ever been experienced? (Yup Hendrix)
2. If i am a star ( Marilyn Monroe )

I think " Knocking on Heaven's door" would be fitting.

Schuyler Colfax. I think he was U.S. Grant's vice president. A friend in high school decided to make him famous for absolutely no reason.

"Get me down gently".

Thunder Run or possibly Family Truckster depending on the aircraft type.

Seriously though, I'd have to name mine "Always & Forever." It was my late wife's and my "salutation;" how we signed all our holiday cards,birthday cards, and notes to each other.

These days I'd be tempted to call it "Many Zeroes", in honor to the cheque I'd have to write...

"Eight Ball" or "The Goose". Checkerboards on rudder and/or cowling. Nose art: a Disney wolf lining up a pool shot for the first, or an angry goose spitting .50 cal out its honker for the second.

Thinking "Dirty Deed's Done Dirt Cheep" would be a good one...

'' All or Nothing. ''
The Small Faces were a great band...

For a Mosquito :
" Knock on Wood ".

"Joltin' Joanie" with a sexy redhead bit of art under the exhaust stacks on my Mustang. The love of my life.

"I Told You I Have Lost Patience."


I read a lot of Iain Banks' books about The Culture.

Although I have already mentioned naming mine Schuyler Colfax, the name "Wobbling Wombat" has been gaining favor with some of voices in my head.

Groundhog for a P-39.

 

[SaparotRob]

With a heavily armed, angry groundhog nose art?

"Death Dealer" which happens to be my forum avatar.

The Death Dealer is a series of artwork done by Frank Frazetta which in turn, inspired several novels by James Silke.
