Default Planes named after birds

Lots of them:

Cessna Skyhawk; Douglas A-4 Skyhawk; Christen Eagle; Curtiss: Kittyhawk,
Hawk, Warhawk, Falcon, Shrike; Grumman: Duck, Goose, Mallard, Albatross,
Widgeon; DeHavilland: Dove, Heron; Aero Commander: Shrike, to name a few.


Better birds than royalty (Duchess, Baron, etc.).
