FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

Still wish that Planey McPlaneFace was on there.  The real choices are Canso II, Guardian, Iris, Kingfisher and Turnstone.

That’s why you only go to the Internet with multiple choice- never fill in the blanks. :)

Chicken.
 
FWIW I voted “Guardian”.

I had to sound out each name and see how it would sound doing a traffic advisory.

“Straits traffic, Snake 502, military Guardian aircraft,1,000 ft, 3 miles south of Hornby Island, southbound.”

Try that sentence with any of the proposed names and decide for yourself.

So “Straights Traffic, Snake 502, a military CASA 295, .......” is out? ;)

Since a few manufacturers have used "Guardian" as a designation for variants of their a/c, would there not be confusion.  Maybe Viking will claim trademark infringement on their "Guardian 400" Twotter.

I like "Iris", but then I once dated a woman named Iris and her skills were amazing.  She could raise me from the dead.
 
The choice is obvious.

Voted for Kingfisher - beautiful bird.

We also have a thing in Canada for usually naming things after animals when we name equipment our selves

Argus, Aurora, Hercules, Globemaster, Cyclone....
 
We named three of those. 
Globemaster and Hercules was American names

But we did name things Bison, Cougar, Grizzly, Lynx, Huskie, Buffalo, Badger, Beaver, Fox, Ram, Coyote, Otter, Bobcat and Kangaroo.
