Depends on the name of the aircraft...

If I had a Magister I would call her Maggie...

If I had a Spitfire, I'd find a suitable name beginning with S...

Not sure, but if I had a horse, I would call it "Frickadella".

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I was thinking Fred. Then I remembered that all aeroplanes are female so it would have to be Freda. ;)

No.

or a F-16 a tycoon beacuse of its preformance

I don't see what a powerful businessman has to do with performance. Do you mean Typhoon - or maybe Raccoon?

Well lets put it this way... if I had a Cessna 150, I would call it 'a Cessna 150'. If I had a Hawker Hunter, I would call it 'a Hunter'. :P

I would (will?) probably name it Betty, after my mother. She'd like that.
But more important than a name would be: to paint "SEE   YA" on the undersides of the wings, in great big letters.
"SMELL YA LATER" wouldn't fit too well, except maybe on a glider. ;D
