Today’s Excellence-in-Naming award goes to the B-52 Stratofortress
From Wikipedia: “Superior performance at high subsonic speeds and relatively low operating costs have kept the B-52 in service despite proposals to replace it with the Mach 3 XB-70 Valkyrie, supersonic B-1B Lancer and stealthy B-2 Spirit.”
It’s well known law that the military can only upgrade its hardware if the new version has a cooler name. Lancer and Spirit sound like hybrid-electric cars. Stratofortress sound a flying monster truck/dinosaur hybrid with gatling guns for eyes; one that eats terrorists and craps out apple pie.
Your move, Mr. New Military Plane Namer.
