*What* do you Name Your Planes?

[nwadeltaboy]

Title says it all.

[MrOrange]

You mean What, right? Anyway, my planes are all named as registrations, so PH-something.

[Scandalian Airlines]

I name mine as registrations as well, Country-Airport-sequential number
In my case from last round DE-FRA01 or OY-CPH14

[NewYinzer]

Since my airline is based in Vancouver, I've been naming them after Canadian politicians...

[jameswyhk]

I will name my aircrafts with the names of the 26 Hong Kong Governors.

[nwadeltaboy]

I name mine after planets or other celestial objects (like Sun, Asteroid Belt, North Star, Black Hole, etc.)

Black Hole

Hehe, how fun would that be to ride on a plane named Black Hole?

[iranair777]

I name mine as their registration. so EP-IAA, EP-IAB, EP-IAC, EP-IAD, EP-IBA, EP-IBB, EP-IBC

[beirut785]

mine as cities and countries arounf the world

[iranair777]

mine as cities and countries arounf the world

I used to do something like that on my first round when based in LHR, instead of naming them cities of the world, I named them to the cities that is their primary destination

[pck]

Mine is registered then named, like:

How my registration works:

(Country) 9M - (Airline) V (Aircraft Type) A(which is my BAe 146-100)  (letter registration, so like the first of these type is A) A

9M-VAB "Segamat Kuala Lumpur" (which means Spirit of Kuala Lumpur), BAe 146
9M-VBA "Segamat Malaysia", Embraer EMB 110P2
9M-VBB "Segamat Pahang", Embraer EMB 110P2, etc......

[StephenM]

Irish Rivers and Lakes.

[Ingmar:)]

Nothing, I don't name them

but in my first round i named them after dutch aviation pioneers. unfortunately after about 20 planes i was out of names so i decided to switch to general aviation pioneers hahaha

[MvH]

I used to give the registration numbers (PH-***). But right now, they just fly around nameless.

[RMAirlines]

Last round they were always the "Something Wind". Such as "Pakistani Wind" or "Bahrain Wind". They were named for their primary destinations.

[Blue Sky Mine]

Mostly band names, song titles or Australian cities.
