it's a shame with all the noise restrictions nowadays.
yep, aircraft leaving PDK in Atlanta would be under restrictions for noise abatement. Used to love sitting across fro Dobbins AFB on my day off and watching the military jets come and go. They had no restrictions.

I found and bought one for an owner in 2006-07 and paid 2.2 or so for it. Sold it a year ago for 400K. Painful

Allied pilots nicknamed the German ME-262 the Blow Job.

The early Lears were always "all go, no stow"
I've heard most of the rest of these, and anyone who got their ticket in one knows about the Cessna "One Filthy"(150)

Posted by Message meauxjeaux2 OT Pilots,popular aircraft nicknames was the G3 louder than the Saberliner? shite,i don't recall.
I believe the G3 was more quiet as it had diffusers that took some of the noise pain away. The G2 was just straight out the back shrieking noise. The loudest were the Rolls Vipers, CJ610, and that awful Lycoming on T37s.
The G3 even without hush kits could be flown pretty quiet, I am proud to say I never rang the bell out of Teterboro over the course of several years.

I've heard the Piper Tomahawk referred to as the Traumahawk because they like to crash.

got a monitor leaving MAD a few years ago, the company gave me a couple of subjects to choose from to make up a story as to why I did it to avoid a big fine for them, story worked, they sent me a print out of flight path over departure track and it turns out it wasn't me

Q: when you see 4 C-5s on the ramp and two are on jack stands, what does that tell you?
A: the facility only has two jack stands

Early in its service life, the B-26 Marauder was termed the "Widowmaker" due to high accident rate.
She also earned the nickname "Flying Prostitute" because she had "no visible means of support"

Must be an AA guy. Most others use the Mad Dog prefix.
That's a quirky plane, the feeler knobs/buttons, and that compass with the mirror.

yep, it's like they used a bunch of spare parts to put that together, when we first got them, the AC cross tie lockout reset was performed by opening a little door on the floor that was attached to a cable and a couple of pulleys going down to the E & E, pretty Mickey Mouse, bit it's held up pretty well

It's a workhorse no doubt. It'll prob still be flying short routes with South American and African airlines in 15-20 years.
