Do you name your aircraft, and if so, what?

It would take way to long with a fleet of over 600.

In the beginning I always name my fleet. Later on, when I've got like 5 orders every night, I step it back a little...

I used to name them after Rivers and Lakes around Ireland. Aer Lingus name their planes after Saints and Iarnród Éireann names its trains after rivers. So thats basically where I got my idea.

I used to give them names and a reg, but as more and more planes got into the fleet, I found it easier to just give them regs.

I used to name them after famous Dutch things, like: "Boerenkool", "Kaas", "Wiet" and dutch cities like "Breda"

Last round I gave them the airport code at wich they were based since I had several hubs there, but soon I found out that that was impossible to keep on doing (with 400+ aircraft), this year I already stopped when I had like 30 aircraft

I name some... mostly after mythological beings/things (Apollo, Minerva, Persephone, Zephyrus etc) or birds.

But now mostly i just name planes that i bought used that are already named.

Quote from: "Norfolk International Air"

Norfolk Number 25 From Russia With Love (First Russian Tu-70)

I had a "From Russia with Love" as well! Actually, I had planes with all the Bond-names exept for "Casino Royale". Many planes also had their names from Cities, bands I listened to when I named the planes or from songs. For example, I had 4 or 5 planes called "Bad Religion", at least 3 called "Dimmu Borgir", 2 called "Stormbl°ast" and one named "Along the Way".

First I gave them various animal names. My first Comets name was "Falcon" - my first Convairs was "Rhino". Later I named them with the abbreviations of the airpirts included in the routes. Last names just were the first three letter of the base folowed by numbers. One day I stopped that.
