JarheadBoom Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) If it meant squawking "This contact brought to you by ____________" over the radio on every local trainer, I'd do it to keep the jets funded. Back on topic... that's one of the dumbest airplane names I've heard in a long time. edit: format Edited February 21, 2014 by JarheadBoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Pegasus? Wow, that's almost as gay as 'Fighting Falcon'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExBoneOSO Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Pegasus? Wow, that's almost as gay as 'Fighting Falcon'. Or as gay as "Lancer" - of course, the reason they gave us when they made that choice was that Lancer was a historical name from WW2 - even though we had never heard of the P-43 before then. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_P-43_Lancer Edited February 21, 2014 by ExBoneOSO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azimuth Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 An interesting note, the squadron that the crew members on Shell 77 were assigned to the 93 ARS, which are the Pegasus. That's the same squadron that was the KC-135 CCTS school at Castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
