On the other hand, Flanker is an awesome name. Fulcrum is not bad either.
Fun little trivia about the F4H Phantom II. Given the naming conventions that McDonnell used at the time, the project manager had originally wanted to name is Satan, but the name was considered to controversial at the time. Apparently, one of the other names proposed was Mithras, the Persian god of light. linky |
You mean the MiG-15 "Fagot"? Which the the meaning of "fagot" here, is a strong bundle of sticks and twigs. Not the sexual slur.
