Hopefully, this isn't a repeated thread.
How did you come up with the name for your aircraft and what is it?
My first idea was BAD CHICKEN. A coworker dubbed it that when he saw what I was actually building. "That's one bad chicken!" I went with it for a while. I have several logo ideas for that name. But alas I soon realized just what expenses I will have to endure to fly my own aircraft. So one day after playing with my paint job ideas, two tone copper and silver, and realizing how much my addiction to flying I have will run me, I went with Pretti Penni. My reserved number is N174PP. Last two also sand for Papa' Papa's plane. So how can I dismiss three prominent clue's as to what my plane should be named?
Some of the best names are earned. Sharpie- Dan Checkoway, Birdstrike, Debris, Glider, etc...
My good friend and fellow helo driver, Glenn Brasch, is building a 9A. He has "earned" the name of Hotline. Seems like every time I talked to him he would start the conversation with, "I called Van's today to ask them about....." So, I commented that he must have a "Hotline," to them. It has stuck but he hasn't accepted it yet.
If you are single, you might try naming it "After You".
Then when you meet a new lady and offer to take her for a ride, you can say, "Come fly with me, after all, I named my airplane after you."
We started a company with a product called Stingmate which is used as first aid for jellyfish stings.
Part of advertising was Captain Stingbad and I posed the question to the VAF and "Sting" kept coming back.
My tail art is going to be a jellyfish one day.
