Lt. James Cater Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Just about everyone has one but almost no one ever mentions it. My fine Republic F-105D Thunderchief is named "Pack6 Peggy". No matter how many times i've gone Downtown she always brings me back home. Even though she's been hurt a few times she always is a honey. When she's going seriously supersonic on the deck, dodging flak at altitude, or performing her nimble SAM avoiding dance i can't help from loving her more than i do. Now let's hear of your love!

+column5 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 It doesn't have a name, but my personal F-8E uses Charles Nungusser's markings--a black heart with death symbols inside--under the cockpit. ;) Quote
Heck Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 (edited) My personal F-86e in Korea is "Check Six Baby!" It features an appropriate semi-nude redhead kneeling, looking back over her shoulder. A Vargas girl I found. My first attempt at painting on a skin, I think it turned out pretty good. Love the F-86. She's such a pretty bird. Edited July 22, 2007 by Heck Quote
Shashman Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 My girlfriend's name is Amber. As much as I admire and respect pieces of metal riveted together, I think giving them "darling" names is a little bit much and verging on the extremely sad, especially considering the fact you're referring to virtual aircraft Quote
Caveman Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 My girl has no name but she brings me back everytime she's the F/A-18.. sad thing is i LOVE the F-14 Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 My girl has no name but she brings me back everytime she's the F/A-18.. sad thing is i LOVE the F-14 Hehehe, you go with the Hornet, but you're thinking of the Tomcat... where's the film crew from CHEATERS? Quote
GASCAN39 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Saucy Bettie P - Reference to Bettie Page. I did a decal (not suitable for non-adults) with here likeness, and especially love the art featuring her in Playboy. (Her as a red leather clad devil makes me seek out "quality alone time", but I digress.......... Nose art, women's names, etc. always fascinated me. Nothing wrong with naming an aircraft you are intimate with, besides like Gunnery Sgt Hartmann says..... "This is the only p*&$y you people will be getting" .....This is my rifle, there are many like it, but this one is mine....... Quote
+Wrench Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Of the several hundreds of nose arts I've done, there's always 2 that repeat in every set: "Patricia Ann", for the wife and "The Wrench" for me. That one goes all the way back to my ATF/FA mission building days -- that wrench-dude would appear just everywhere! Gascan, you'll find the Bettie shows up in a few of mine, to...especially the Red Devil one, and another in black leather with the riding crop. Check out the WW2 skins I've done. You'll find them. I've a large collection of Vargas, Petty, Soriyama, and many others that wind up as decals on various planes. Wrench kevin stein Quote

I've known plenty of other people in other games that had no problem with naming certain things. In MW4 Mercs i had a mech called "PigKilla" due to the loadout and role it used it for. I also tend to take things a bit more seriously if i deem it worthwhile, it's my nature. IE... if you are in a band with me, expect to rehearse 6 days a week, about 5-8 hours a day. Some of us to get a little deeper into things. Quote
Lt. James Cater Posted July 23, 2007 Author Posted July 23, 2007 Didn´t get the point... Point is... i tend to get carried away a bit with things i happen to enjoy. Quote
+Typhoid Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 we had "Arnold" when I was flying the E-4B. #787 was a bit of a "pig" for awhile when it first came back from rework. So we nicknamed it "Arnold". but the 55th maintainers did a good job bringing it back up to speed and it became a matter of pride. I think in the end I logged more time in Arnold than I did in the other planes. true story Quote
Sgt.KAR98 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Ah,you customized your aircraft with new markings and etc? Cool. Quote
Caveman Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 yes i should be on cheaters....... but my "honey" would kill me lol.... good thing they know bout eachother Quote
+Dave Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 My personal F-15A of the 318th FIS. I put my wifes name on the side. Man I miss her. Quote
GASCAN39 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Wrench, yeah, I noticed you had some Bettie's in the dowload of your "What If?...." Eagle FGR.1. (The desert, pink one) I added one of my own, a painting of Bettie sitting topless, looks awesome. Guess I should honor the wife with nose art, she puts up with alot......... Quote
Sgt.KAR98 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Hahah. I thought of some good markings too,but I´m no modder... :-( Quote
GASCAN39 Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 rib A tribute to the Missus, she was quite embarrassed..... Quote
Sgt.KAR98 Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 How you guys added these drawings to your aircraft? Quote
+Brainless Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 ribA tribute to the Missus, she was quite embarrassed..... Your'e a very brave pilot my friend- very brave indeed. I know many a married man who would have faced death and worse for a dedication like that! Quote
GASCAN39 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 She thought it was humorous, (And a sad use of my spare time!), she actually provided constructive criticism, to which I responded "Better that I used a cartoon than to ask you to pose for me!!!!" Quote
