Vulcan is the name of a plane...




And an anti-air machine...



I love the name Phoenix, and I've heard that that would be the one to be chosen...

Rodan is the unofficial name of the F-15 Eagle already. The pilots call it that because it's so big.

I think something along the lines of - "Wimpy humming bird". look how much of the sweet stuff (£$£$) a humming bird needs in a life time!!!!!!

You missed the entire Joke Fighter. I understand perfectly well that there is a plane already named "Vulcan", hilarity was supposed to ensure as I have a known dislike of the actual Vulcans appearance.

F-35
Slithering oom bop
Cuddle bear
Raptor Light
Diet Raptor
Minnow
Carp
Farret


How about the name William Wallace?

F-35 William Wallace, That has a nice ring to it

I posted this Joint Strike Fighter F 35 has it been named on the 21-6-2005 at 01:59 Post Number: 1471202.]

seekerof then closed it
saying,

I trashed one such like topic just yesterday, and as such, I am going to close this.

Why?
Because you, or anyone inclined enough, can simply find what you/they need to know about the F-35 and it having a name or not by simply using any search engine.

BTW, the F-35 has no name and is likely to not get one anytime soon, if ever, other than what it is currently named: Joint Strike Fighter.

IM SO HAPPY THAT IT IS BEING NAMED

I'd call this thread: "Meaningless questioning for people who live in a trash bubble"...

What about a code name...

JSF - OSF?

(Joint Strike Fighter - Old Skool Flavor)

Well, Phoenix would be a great name but there already is a Phoenix missile AND a Brittish Phoenix UAV too.

My suggestion for the airforce are:

-Banshee
-Razor
-Reaper
-Raven
-Hell Hawk
-Peregrine Falcon
-Badger
-Ferret
-Skunk
-Hungry Puppy
-Porcupine
-RPG catcher
-Bulls Eye
-Baby Raptor
-Flattulence
-Warthhog wannabe
-Fighting Fairy

I got many more

How about just 'Striker'

Makes me think of Ted.

you have a singular wit then.

Well, it will be named after a bird as the convention seems to dictate.

Falcon, Eagle, Raptor are all birds. I know the Hornet does not follow suit, so who knows?

isn't a raptor a dinosaur?

the mean one with the long toenail?

Whenever i see vidoes of it hovering, i always think it looks like a wasp because of the way the engine thingy turns down at the back, just like wasps do with their little arse bit. Are there any planes already called wasp?

Yeah, but its also a Bird of Prey, correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the F-22 was named after this definition of Raptor.

How about the the Owl.....as in, I hunt at night and you don't see or hear me until it's too late.

I do admit it's not as cool as Phoenix, Raptor, etc. But, what the hell......

not that i know of but a Yellow Jacket are nasty evil members of the wasp family iirc

as anyone at an outdoor picnic in june or july what its like having yellowjack buzzing you and eating your food then stepping on or near the nest.... even if you run like heck some how they will get you threw your clothes too! O speak from experience last year one landed on my hand and wrist near the opening of my sleeve and shook my hand and zapped me three time vefore if flinged out and i took off but some how, like in a bad horror film, i was still on my tail so i took off till i thoght it had gone i slowed, ZAPP right in my back threw my overalls then i really took off and i never saw it agian i think i might have knocked it out when i was flinging my arms. My hand wrist got 50% bigger and it burnt aching i had to use tons of ice bags to make it feel better and the back zap covered the 1/4 of my back. I hate yellow jacks!
