Re: Most Appropriate Nicknames for WW II Warbirds

I have always loved the F4U Corsair "Whistling Death" it my favorite one.

F-16 Viper is cool....Did you know some pilots called the F-14 Tomcat a "Turkey"...Yep that was it's nick name.
Because of its ungainly, turkey-like look when landing on aircraft carriers.

George Preddy was......Just the greatest fighter pilot who ever squinted through a gunsight.
He was a complete fighter pilot.......Colonel John C. Meyer Deputy Commander of the 352nd.
