Name an Aviation Theme Suite -- Win a Prize!

So we FINALLY finished the new "Piper Cub Suite" yesterday (some of that
artwork has been in our dining room for over three years!) at our aviation
theme suite hotel, and we're embarking on our last two aviation theme
suites, the "Apollo Suite" and the "Oshkosh Suite" -- both which have been
in the works for over two years.

However, since we created the "Cub Suite" by chopping one of our 2-story
townhouse suites in half (by walling off the stairs), we suddenly find
ourselves with an "extra" suite to name!

Thus, it's time to play "Name That Suite"! The winner earns a free night
in "their" suite, upon completion. Here are the rules:

1. The name must roll off the tongue, and be no longer than four words.
(I.E.: "The Charles Lindbergh Suite")
2. No aviation disasters, please. (No "Hindenburg Suite", please...)
3. Nothing potentially offensive or double-meaning (No "Bong Suite" or
"Hellcat Suite"...)
4. Combat-related names are iffy, unless they "sound pretty" to the
uninformed.

For example, our "Memphis Belle Suite" sounds "pretty" to folks who have no
idea who Bob Morgan was, and our "Mustang Suite" sounds kinda racy, even to
those who have NO idea what a P-51 is... We must be careful to appeal to
the NON-flying crowd, too, which eliminates a lot of great names.

Ideally, the suite would honor a well-known era or aspect of aviation. Look
here to see which names are already in use:

Good luck!

With background music by Jefferson Airplane?

"Anola Gay" sounds pretty

That suite would be da bomb.

Plus it might appeal to the "metrosexual" crowd

But seriously folks, I think a DC-3 suite would be cool.

I believe you mean "Enola Gay".

I believe you're right. D'oh.

Since this is probably one of the smaller suites how about, "The Mercury
Suite"

The obvious on is the DC-3 suite, but beyond that...

Glenn Martin suite
Wrong Way Corrigan suite
Rutan suite
RV or Van Grunsven suite
Shuttle suite
USS Enterprise suite
Blue Angels/Thunderbirds suite
Spitfire suite
Phantom suite
Stealth Suite
F-22 Raptor suite
MiG/Sukhoi suite
Top Gun suite

Please don't do a UAV suite.

The obvious one is the DC-3 suite, but beyond that...

We would LOVE a DC-3 suite -- but what to call it? "DC-3" just sounds
dumb, to non-pilots. "Dakota Suite" might work. Isn't that what the Brits
called the Gooney Bird?

Shuttle suite

Well, we've already stretched the aviation theme to fit the "Apollo
Suite" -- simply cuz I really like that theme -- but the "Shuttle Suite"
just sounds too much like a bus. I think we're done with the space program,
for now. (If we ever add that third building, THEN we'll be looking at the
shuttle, methinks.

USS Enterprise suite

While I personally love Star Trek, that would make almost no sense in our
current hotel. It's gotta be aviation.

Top Gun suite

Now THAT would be an easy, and popular, suite. We really don't have any
suites that honor the modern era (the closest we get is the Blackbird Suite,
and that plane was from the 1960s), so it fills that niche, too.

Too bad it sounds so militaristic and masculine. Gotta think of something
that appeals to the non-flying chicks, who make the lodging decisions 75% of
the time... Maybe the "Maverick Suite"?

Please don't do a UAV suite.

THAT goes without saying. Unmanned vehicles are about as interesting as
pocket calculators, IMHO.

The Gooney Bird Suite, that has my vote! (Now you have to sleep in your own
Inn, haha)
