8. Champion Aircraft Carrier Killer of all time...

the SBD Douglas Dauntless...
Daunty Lass...
"Slow but Deadly"

The U.S. Navy invented Dive Bombing. Don't let anyone tell you different.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. You'd consider calling yourself CF-HU8 or 67543?

Not the names I might consider, but all the power to ya!!

[stellanoir]

4. this thread inspired me to change my screen name

to Condeleeza and start a copycat thread called

"Oil tankers I would like to have named after myself."

Couldn't bring myself to it.

[HawkerHurricane]

9. You could call yourself...

USS George HW Bush and start a thread about aircraft carriers you could have named yourself after...

[Devils Advocate NZ]

5. Funy thing about your sig - that German bomber is a Dornier!

But that wouldn't have been as funny, eh? :-)

[HawkerHurricane]

10. It's a joke, son!

In jolly old England, the schoolteacher had gotten a veteran of the Battle of Britain to speak to her class... but the man was Norweigian, and his accent caused many titters among the children.

"Vell, vun day ve vus vlyink ofher Lundun, und ve vas yumped by tree fuckers... zo ve vint intu der pover dife, und den looped bach und der fuckers zo ve coult zoot zem done..."

The teacher, annoyed by the laughter, explained...
"He's talking about a Fokker, a type of German Aircraft. Aren't you, Flight Leftenant?"

"Dya" he answered. "De Fokker iz a Cherman Aircravt. But deze fuckers vere vlyink Mezzerscmidtz!"

6. My Favorite

[HawkerHurricane]

[BigMcLargehuge]

18. Cadillac of the skies

[ForrestGump]

7. Or, to get in touch with your feminine side:

[Aristus]

12. You could have named yourself after the P-38, Hawk.

But the can-opener beat you to it. B-)

[HawkerHurricane]

14. Can-Opener?

The 'Hurri' was a 2nd rate fighter, true... but Can-Opener?

Unless you are refering to the P-39 Airacobra, which the Russians put in a ground support role and called 'The Can-Opener' for what the 38mm cannon could do to the top armor of German tanks.

[jukes]

20. Army

p-38 was the designator for the c-rat can opener that came w/a case of meals. you had to see-saw it through to open a can.

i think some grunt was jerking you on your some-what exclusionary (but certainly acceptable) use of esoteric nomenclature!


:bounce:

[Aristus]

24. Nope. The little folding can-opener that came with every

C-Ration pack was called a P-38. You can still occasionally see them around. Lots of Vietnam vets carry them around on their keychains. You can see whole boxes of them in surplus stores going for around 5 cents apiece.

[NoPasaran]

13. Something a little more my speed

[HawkerHurricane]

15. DH-1?

Slow, clumsy, poor design, but at least it could fire forward without shooting it's own propelor off.

[NoPasaran]

16. Voison, actually.

A French design that was continually developed through the Great War and used by virtually all the Allies.

[solinvictus]

19. Baron Stuka von Messerschmidt, Comte de Dornier

I love the Axis planes, the Messerschmidts, Dorniers, Junkers, Fiats, and Focke-Wulfe.

[HawkerHurricane]

21. That's a heck of a name...

but your list of plane companies has 4 German, 1 Italian, and NO Japanese. No Mitsubishi A6M Zero (Zeke) in the inventory?

[theivoryqueen]

22. Where's the Harrier?

I love that name and plane!

[HawkerHurricane]

23. Little late.

I'm a WW2 fan.

But, since you asked...
