Naming of planes

Recommended Posts

Girlfriend is "angry"! (Way beyond that actually). She's bloody f*****g p****d! Because I don't "name" the planes every time I fly them.

Is this something I should be concerned about? Please help!

This made me think of a line from Firefly:

 

"Six men came to kill me one time. And the best of 'em carried this. It's a Callahan full-bore auto-lock. Customized trigger, double cartridge thorough gauge. It is my very favorite gun… This is the best gun made by man. It has extreme sentimental value… I call her Vera."

 

"Well my time of taking you seriously has certainly come to a middle."

In Elite: Dangerous I've named ships things like FV Amalthea (cargo hauling Python), TCSS Endurance (Diamondback Explorer fitted for exploration) and Got Buns Hun? (Anaconda, get it...?).

Golf Foxtrot 1, Golf Foxtrot 2, Golf Foxtrot 3, etc.... Let her do the math so you can move on to Golf Foxtrot 4 and beyond.

Happy flying!

Short answer, yes you should be.

Haha! Thanks guys!

It was sort of a joke, with some truth in it. I've tried to explain to her, that it's pretty futile to name ones and zeros that changes whenever I use mye computer until I start skinning, I guess. So I might need to teach myself that.

In her case, I guess it's just a product of having to many horses and ponies growing up. She won everything though.

Good part though! She wants to get into DCS, and start beeing mye RIO. "But not like Goose!"

The Naming of planes is a difficult matter,

It isn’t just one of your holiday games;

You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter

When I tell you, a plane must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

Alternatively you can flip it around, and use the plane's name as a term of endearment. E.g.

 

 

"What's for dinner, my dear little *insert aircraft name*"

Possible selections include:

 

 

-Warthog

-Frogfoot

-Hind

-Spitfire

-Gazelle

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck and I hope your couch is comfortable to sleep on :P

Maybe not a bad idea, depends though. Hehe She adores the Spit, intrigued by the Hog. Watched a video of brrrrrrrrrp the other day. Tried to read your post to her, but she's too busy reading a biography of Hermann Göring for me, (She's really into WWII), in the couch.
