pudestcon Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 After reading Alf's thread about his new girlfriend and various poster's comments about bikinis etc I thought I'd pose the question and show you what we did this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudestcon Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Sorry guys, I'm having trouble with the forums tonight - won't let me edit my thread here - says I don't have permission, and won't let me attach photos. I'll see if Ian can sort it. Pud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingVizsla Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Unfortunately we have no imagination. We call them by the maker's name - the Rans, Lightwing, Karasport; and he calls mine "your poor plane" with a sad lilt reserved for old Cessnas sitting in the weather with the paint oxidising away. We are about to embark on a refurbish and repaint so I am sure there will be "other" names as the work progresses. I get to design a new paint scheme for the C152. Any ideas?

Deskpilot Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Ah, something I've been pondering. Not to steal your thread but any suggestions for my avatar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf jessup Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Ok, After my eldest daughter posting on facebook that she is never calling my new Girlfriend her step mum, she said Mistress she can live with. So it looks like instead of me caressing and rolling and easing into my new Girlfriend I am allowed to do that with my Mistress. So Mistress it is, I can live with throwing my mistress around and taking her out for overnighters and trips away, getting warm and snuggly in her when it's cold outside. Could never do that in my trike, I was made to put more clothes on with her. Cheers Alf & his Mistress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpacro Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 My Pitts is "Marion" from a previous owner and its life associated with the Cole Bros Flying Circus. .. I get to design a new paint scheme for the C152. Any ideas? I'm no help as I have no style at all - I just stick to classic paint schemes but some people like other stuff: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimaMike08 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 My trike was named "Mother Goose" by its previous owner. I shortened it to "The Goose" by removing the M, O and R. Fitting name my wife said as she thought I was a goose for flying such a small plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscotthendry Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Spirit of Kitty Hawk It has the obvious connection. I made the pilgramage and it left a deep impression. I guess by now, anyone that reads Sport Pilot would know the name of my plane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayavner Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I always imagined if I had a sleek little plane i would paint it flat black and name it "Thuringwethil". Any Tolkien nerds spot the reference? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekliston Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I have my CH701 VH registered I was given VH-ABG which I googled to find it was the registration of the last remaining Short Empire class flying boat "Coriolanus" being a bit of an enthusiast (aren't we all) I was quite pleased with that and thought I might call mine Coriolanus 2. Incidentally the boat was broken up at Rose Bay the year before I was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
