"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"


depending on whom is flying it, the name changes, but the plane basically
remains the same. an old design that saw great service both in patroling
and rescue for many countries.

another example:
the B-29 superfortress was called the Washington by the British, and P2B-1S
by the US Navy. and TU-4 by the Russians and "Bull" by NATO
