AFAIK two's and three's affixed to a name are generally only when they
are by the same manufacturer. Corsair & II both Vought, Phantom & II
McD, Thunderbolt & II Republic, Saber and SuperSaber NAA etc.

But the kicker there is that the isn't a whole lot of consistency -
the COrsair II sould actually have been the Corsair IV or V - The O2U
and )3U scouts/dive bombers were Corsairs. And why was teh F8U-3 the
Crusader III? Becasue teh F8U-2 (F-8D/E) were Crusader IIs, although
there was not a whole lot to deiierentiate them from the F8U-1s.

How about Camel Spider............


LOL That's GREAT. If they can use Black Widow I don't know why they
couldn't use Camel Spider. Or maybe use it on the next tank or
something.

Favorite UK name so far is apparantly "Fury". FAA pilots have been told
that under *NO* circumstances will they be allowed to call it "Sea Fury"!

That would leave them open to a whole host of trade descriptions lawsuits.

OK, if you're gonna go for names, how about the F-35 Rumsfeld (aka Buzzard)?
