What's your Mooney's name

[bonal]

I was just thinking about the names we give our airplanes. Since ours has a real resemblance to a famous ww1 flying beagle we gave him the name Snoopy. I think it would be fun to hear others.

Luna "c"

Use to be called bébé (French for baby), after the paint job it is called the Phoenix (for obvious reasons).

I call niner three three my Pokey ol' rocket.

[Joe Zuffoletto]

Expensive. But amazing bang for the bucks. 

 

All kidding aside, I call it "The Beast." Stole it from a Type S driver down in South America who actually has it placarded on his panel, just like an N-number. It's a name that fits.

 

I love "Luna C." Can't think of anything remotely as clever incorporating "TN."

[NotarPilot]

Abbreviated she's known as Jane. Her full name us Plane Jane.

Question for the forum... If the plane was already named by a prior owner, are you obligated to carry it forward as you do with boats?

[bonal]

Since the previous owner of Snoopy had passed and I had no contact with the family we gave it a new name. I agree the name should stay with the plane. I have found a buyer for my C150 and I let him know that plane is named Skeeter.

Usually 9821P.  And a lot of time I talk to my plane "what an awesome plane, I love you".  And when it cost me money:  F...ing Bitch

Snoopy and Snoopy 2 are the MetLife Blimps.  We saw Snoopy 2 in the pattern at KFDK last summer.

I have a really cool placard on my panel - no words - its just art - I noticed a ink-press made of lead with a finely etched mooney on it - for ink blotting a mooney - got it on ebay.  I spray painted it flat black and velcro'ed it to my panel.  I will share a picture next time I am at my hangar.

That's sounds like Brett!!

We call ours "Patients"

For a while, every part on the airplane I had to fix. Finally, for the first time in over 2 years we have a nice flying machine!

My wife calls her "The Aluminum Mistress"

I call her the "Time Machine" because she saves us soooo much time on our many trips to the beach each year.

[Alan Fox]

That's amazing Pete , Me and Bob just called it the "turd"

The name only has to stay if it's painted on the nose (with appropriate artwork).

I unimaginatively call mine either "the plane" or "the Mooney" since "baby" is already taken in our house . . .

What's a good name for a well-behaved girl from Texas anyway?

[Cody Stallings]

Agent Orange

[N201MKTurbo]

We call mine Mr Mooney. I know most of them are girls, but mine is a boy.

[yvesg]

It would be interesting to find out if owners of other brand of aircraft also name theirs? Perhaps this is something that would set Mooney owners apart?
