February 21, 201411 yr I don't want to put a damper on the tanker homoerotica, but what would y'all have liked to see it named?

February 21, 201411 yr 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.

February 21, 201411 yr Should've been named the Phoenix to accurately capture its acquisition history...
February 21, 201411 yr Raise your hand if you were forced to play the Boeing-sponsored Tanker Acquisition board game from back in the days where the winner (everyone) had to choose the buy/lease option. Edited February 21, 201411 yr by PanchBarnes
February 21, 201411 yr 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_P-43_Lancer Edited February 21, 201411 yr by ExBoneOSO
February 21, 201411 yr Author 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.

February 21, 201411 yr Should've been named the Phoenix to accurately capture its acquisition history... I still am not fully convinced everything is going to work out as fragged...
