JSF name

Good god, 15 pages of suggestions over at F-16.net.

Why am I not surprised that they'd be doing such things??

I know...I feel dirty for going over there, but that's what popped up when I Googled "F-35 Musketeer".

I like it. And no doubt it beats Musketeer.

Is the JSF "supposed" to replace all of the other F model planes?? (that is what i heard) and it is going out across all of the branches?

What other "F" model planes are there other than the F/A-18F? We have the F-15C & E and F-16C, and the AV-8B.

Considering the AGM-54 Phoenix missile is now decommissioned, that name will work....I like it, "I like it a lot..." (Forrest Gump & Lloyd {Dumb & Dumber}).

How about "Wild Card?"

 

[zuggerat]

i thought it was called the "Vulture"

 

[UncleFester]

"Musketeer"? Are you f*ckin' kidding? "Lancer" and "Spirit' weren't gay enough or something?
So, they're naming this airplane after the bearer of an obsolete weapon. Hm. I hope that's the company's tag and not the DoD's. Personally, I like "Wildcat", as it was flown by both us and the Brits and in keeping with the Greatest Generation veneration going on of late.
The Prowler guys in the Scorps said they're pushing for "Shocker" for the G. Now that's a tag we can all love.

The B-52, for one, now has versions all the way thru H. More info below.

No feline names.. Not unless it's Grumman built...

OK, after getting through 15 pages of mindless drivel, I like "Razorback" the best. Better than all the "-hawk" and "-cat" and "-II" nicknames...

Just curious...does that apply to new NORTHROP Grumman aircraft? Or just no more 'cats period?
