So what's the name of your plane?

[iheartmyocd]

Just curious. Considering it's the eighth crew member, I always try and give mine a bit of personality (and hopefully some luck). I consider it a bit of a jinx, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, to take off in a plane that the game named rather than me.

My two most popular (at the moment) are - Serenity, and Danse Macabre. I don't even bother numerating them, I've wrecked so many that the fuselage isn't long enough at this point to accomodate the digits. Anyone else have a favorite name for their bomber?

My all-time favourites would be the "Grumpy Gina", "*insert the pilot's name here*'s Bus" and "A for Andy" ("Squadron, this is "A for Andy". We have one aircraft down. Keep in formation... descending to angle two-niner. Steady as she goes, lads." (c)).
Funny thing is, every time I name my plane A for Andy I am mentally prepared to name all the replacement bombers accordingly (B for Bertie, C for Charlie, F for Freddie, Z for... Zoidberg, I guess?) - but by this time I've learned the tricks and tactics necessary to get through the campaign in a single plane, so crashes and changes of name never happen.

I've recently taken a liking to customize my bomber and crew as belonging to different Allied/Commonwealth nations and name it accordingly (and stereotypically, of course). For the Free French it's "La Vengeuse"; for Australia it's "Southern Cross", "Flying Diggers" or "Lucky Quokka"; for the Polish it's "White Eagle"; for South Africa it's "J'Burg Boys", "Pride of the Cape" or "Diamond Eyes"; for the Dutch it's "Sky Beggar" or the "Sailing Dutchman"

What I will say now will change your life, especially if you plan on being a videogame addict like me.

Name your in-game vehicle after your spouse.

When they see that, they automatically grant you more play time. If you are too young or noncommittal to be married, you won't understand this as much. If you have kids, this probably won't be enough.

Better yet, name it "After You" so you can tell anybody you want "I named it after you."

And this is why you are uncommitted. Smiley faced emoticon goes here.

Being clever means never having to say "I do"!

"Bomber B¡tch"

The text on the side has been "Hitler's nightmare", "Tschussi", and "Die B¡tches Die" (because it sounds German)

I've had several different themes.

Witcher: Sorceress of Maribor, White Wolf, G-Geralt.

"Historical:" Midnight Run, Sentimental Journey, some others I found nose art for online.

Favorite: a remake of PlasmaJedi's Trump Bus named TRUMP TRAIN (screenshot in profile). It's gaudy as all hell but Trump's smiling face as the nose art is the funniest part imo. It kills me.

My guys in the 'Milk Run' are getting close to the end of the war (screenshot in profile) and my all time favorite is a bit behind: "Bomber on the Inside" with nose art of the TARDIS. A truly British war machine!

SauerKraut for Lunch is my personal favorite
