When we started using our ACMI facility up there for some real time RTO duty, we needed the RTO to have a callsign. So--on a whim--we started using "Two Bears *******ing", shortened of course to "Two Bears". As far as I know, the nomeclature for RTO work out of Elmendorf is still the same.
So--whenever I fly that 727...I laugh a little. I wonder if that little boy or girl knows that Bears is really his/her middle name, and his/her ltrue ast name is "*******king".

Now that's the real story.

JJ,
With almost 1,000 posts to your credit you should know better than to resurrect a zombie thread from 5 1/2 months ago!
Of course it's about a month until Halloween so maybe you were doing it on purpose....

Zombie thread!?!?! What do you mean?? My posts, and especially my threads, are timeless and ethereal.
Now that this thread is another Lazarus come back to life, let me ask if anyone has pictures of "Tony," "Redeye," "Pinkeye," etc?
btw, I think jetjok responded to this thread because someone else asked the question about plane names and Tony obligingly (is this a word?) searched the archives for my thread. Thanks, Tony. Can always count on you.

With the addition of new planes, I was wondering whether there are any new and, uh, interesting names plastered onto the sides of perfectly good airplanes? Any with my name on it?
Told you my threads are timeless.
Can I count on you again Tony?

Why do you ask, Two Dogs *******ing.
Now that's the real story.

HA HA. I thouhgt the joke went "immediately after 'conception' the father goes outside." and the punchline was "why do you ask broken condom?"
Ha ha.

Some of the names are absolutely hilarious and highly entertaining at 3 am. Some seem to beg the question "Can I buy a vowel," others seem like run-on sentences. To the company's credit, however, there are a few that are actually painted a name that a normal person would name their child. Not a lot, but a few.....
