*What* do you Name Your Planes?

[Sheep Air]

Birds. Different models get different families.

[empedocles]

Base Aircraft Number

eg: CAI BAE 1

That way I can sort on the name field and glance down the column to see how many and what type for aircraft are running out of each base.

[killian320]

First two letters of ICAO of the airline, then random letter.
After that, 1 letter of ICAO then two letters

[iranair777]

Birds. Different models get different families.

so its not named after sheep?

[Sheep Air]

There are more kinds of birds than sheep

But I finally managed to get BAA as my airline code - after trying in every round I've played so far!

[zkvac]

Australasian Cities that my airline flies to.

[Blue Sky Mine]

Australasian Cities

I did this during my first round as well. Problem is, you run out of these pretty fast :twisted:

[travismb99]

I use different series of Western/Alaskan themes. Such as, rivers, mountain ranges, peaks, national parks, famous explorers/writers/activists, cities, hubs and states.

My "flagship" plane is always called Spirit of the West.

[boilermaker]

I'm boring - just ac type and sequential number

[pepdav]

Last round I used family member's initials with the prefix C. This round I'm naming them after female body parts

[area51]

I name them by Airline Code then Aircraft name then letters for sequencing

ex. AMY-146A for my  1st BAe-146-100

[thecoffeecake]

when i had luft danmark i named them luften I luften II ect. This time im using Aile I... which is french for wings, but i like stephens lake and river idea

Haha.. I can't wait to fly on [Mod - Daniel Doorgakant: Excuse me?]

Edit: Why is it my fault? It's probably the name of his first plane

[Triple_7]

Simple...mainly when it comes to multiple bases.  Pretty much goes like this

TPE 1
TPE 2
TPE 3
BOM 1
BOM 2
Etc etc.  Keeps it simple if trying to find which plane is going out of which base :?

[FWA2500]

mine all receive reg. #s based on aircraft type and which devision it is in. my long-haul fleet also gets names based on classic rock songs, but no names for the domestic and regional fleets

N###FB = mainline
N###FC = cargo (when ever that starts being active in the game)
N###FS = shuttle

example from my 1970's fleet:

N863FB Douglas DC-8-61 "Kashmir"


i like classic rock if you cant tell
