Here are the additional comments:
• ‘Lis Deuce Coup, lol. Got a decal of one on each side of the cowling. Named her that cause her top end is near 140, like in the song.
• Jersey Boy: Tells when and where I grew up.
• Mikey, he was already named when the adoption went through. It has to do with his call sign ending in MA.
• Pepper.
• Warrior Princess. I was going to call her Princess, but decided that’s too girly (I’m female). Since she’s a Warrior, it seemed natural to call her Warrior Princess instead. Reflects the fighting spirit we both have!
• The Babe! No story.
• Smokey Turtle. My call sign is Smoke, my plane is a Cherokee 140/160. The pilots in my group fly RVs, which are substantially faster than my Cherokee and they called us “Turtle”. So, we embraced it; hence, Smokey Turtle.?
• My mother-in-laws name, Sophie, in honor of her support of our flying.
• Miss Kimmy, AKA wife.
• Mickey Mouse. N81MM.
• Blue Betty.
• “Miss Sara” is the name of our 2000 Saratoga. She seems to like it!
• Free Bird. No, it wasn’t a free plane— still paying on it 14 years later! But it gives me the freedom to escape the bounds of Earth and enjoy the view from above!
• Not difficult…..Snuffy.
