A-320...Chainsaw
T-37...Converter (converts fuel into noise)

Cessna....um.. Mixmaster (he11, does anyone know it's real designator?).
and of course,
Citation....Nearjet and/or Slowtation (Why do they paint stripes on them?...because otherwise the other pilots keep mistaking them for clouds).
......a few domestic airlines...
AA.........Aryan Airlines (fitting the SkyNazi moniker), which naturally leads us to...
American Eagle....The Hitler Youth

DL....Deltard
......and defunct airlines...
TWA....Teeny Weeny Airlines
Midway....Midair
Northwest Orient....Northwest Disorient (now simply Northworst)
Piedmont..... Duhhhh Piedmont....which became "US Scare", now re-christened "US Scareways" (and I'm just keeping one step ahead by putting them in this group).
...and foreign airlines...
Egypt Air....Egypt Scare (but unlike "US Scare", this is no joke!)
Air France....Those Snail-and-horsemeat-eating Frog Bxstxrds (okay, so maybe that's not an "offical" unofficial name, but let's face it, we're all thinkin' it)
