Nicknames for planes

Recommended Posts

I've got a few nicknames for planes where I think there's some obvious physical feature I can ridicule or priase - thought I'd share them with you smile.gif

Wildcat - Barrel

P-40 series - Big Nose

Raiden - Stumpy

Oscar - Falcon - OK, so the Japs called it that too, but I like it - I reckon it's the prettiest a/c next to the Spitfires smile.gif

Buffalo - Tubby

I hate hate Spitfire V - other than that I'd call it aristocratic tongue.gif

But it doesn't really have a distinctive feature like the others IMO smile.gif

I like Buffalo Wings and I like Spitfire V wings!!! Since one tastes good and the other may taste better than some English dishes I have partaken (well I can imagine it would if I could chew metal)I still keep my vote even with your dissention!

And using words like aristocratic will confuse some of the Marines we have on this board. You trying to start another war?????? :mad:
