Aircraft nicknames
Anyone remember the old Plane Business board? It had threaded forums similar to FTs. I remember one of all-time favorite threads was about aircraft nicknames.
Well, those forums were closed down ages ago due to excessive flaming (even with moderators), but I'd love to start re-compiling that list.
The only ones I can remember are Jethro Jets/Jungle Jets/Barbie Fun Jets referring to Brasilias.
Can anyone else add to this?

Perhaps you expected cute names, but....

I was actually looking for something slightly different, but Google turned up this link:
