My buddy's Stearman is "Strip Teaser". I am sorry, but I wasn't focusing on the name when I took this picture.



..and another buddy's Breeze. Not exactly a name. More like a statement.

Love, it Windy! Short and not so sweet.

My Cherokee was easy to name .... with her tail no. of N6354J, naturally I named her "Julliette"!

Ol' Flip is a fine looking bird..... see how the Maule tries to hide in its presence.

Well my thought is "Tangled up in Blue" on my airplane... Best Bob Dylan song, and plus who doesn't want to be tangled up in beautiful blue skies?!

Let me know what you think... naming this bird right is super important to me, I just need to think of the right name.

I survived my teenage years (17-19) in my grandpa's 182, my friends and I called it the lear-jizzy (young and dumb) I flew it from Fresno, CA to Aniak, AK with wet ink on my license when I was 17 and my buddies and I used to fly to Bethel after school (night IFR in the dead of winter and I was fearless then) just to get a sandwich at Subway (closest fast food joint within 300 miles). I started landing on gravel bars soon after and gravel (boulders) shattered the endcap on the left elevator (accident). Grandpa cut me off from the airplane for a month (grounded, literally, it sucked). I got a job flying Cherokee 6's when I was 20, thought they were good stout airplanes when I flew one past the 20,000 hour mark on the airframe before I moved on to flying a Cessna 206. Now Cherokees are known as Tin Indians and the 182 is the Gutless Wonder...Still love her though.

Spent too much time till now wondering if my red-on-white C-170B was a "He" or a "She". Should have just asked my daughter sooner. Naturally, it's a she!! So, that clears the way for the name Rosie. As in Rosie the Riveter, aka Rosie the Riveted. (Last plane was rag and tube). and I like the slogan, too:



p.s.- the old 65 Hp Taylorcraft came with a name already bestowed: the "Cream Shadow"

This thread has had me thinking of a name for the scout.

Here it is: "Nelly Belle". I treat it like a jeep, and Nelly Belle was the name of the jeep that Pat Brady drove in the old Roy Rodgers TV series.

We just called my dads M-4 220 the rocket,old man Maules name fit the too thing well to call it anything else.
