Got a new dog and he needs a name - aviation related. I've already thought of Zulu and PAPI, but those don't quite grab me. Any suggestions?

what kind of dog are we talking? This matters greatly when picking a name.
 
Rifle. In this day and age you get to walk around saying 'where'd my Rifle go?':goofy: 'That's a good Rifle.' etc:lol:
 
I could name him Piper, but one of my neighbors already named his kid that.
 
Let's see, what do you call an animal that will eat anything within reach, and if it is not food, will simply throw it up later?

Or an animal who's favorite snack is the little tootsie roll in the cat's litter box?

Or an animal that will drool all over anyone, even if that person beats the tar out of them daily.

Or an animal that barks loud enough to wake the neighbors when they hear a doorbell on the television...

...but will sleep soundly as an intruder steps over them

Or will bite small children? (ok so the do have one good trait).

I've always wanted to name a dog "Clear".
 
Duke.

Not only do you get the Beechcraft reference, but you also get to make reference to John Wayne (who got his nickname from his dog, named Duke). Double win.

No no. You don't want a dog that's always broken and hideously expensive to fix.
 
If it was a field collie (looks like Lassie) I'd suggest Reville.

Continuing the Beachcraft reference line, possible Beauregarde, and shorten it to Bo?
 
A few of my suggestions
FSDO (Fizdo)
ATIS
CFIT ("Here SeaFit!")

If the dog has a habit of ****ting on things you value, you could always name him after any difficult FAA employee you've met.
 
I know a guy here who named his dog Rudder which worked as that dog was always following him anywhere he went
 
I named my now 4 month old Golden SKY. And yes, her middle name is LANE. I had to agree to let the wife name any future children, though.

Karen Carpenter?

Caddie Shack ?

Or an animal that will drool all over anyone, even if that person beats the tar out of them daily.

Tina Turner ?

If it is an expensive breed that will need extensive vet care and lots of money to keep it around, may I suggest .... AD..;)

I told my wife that I want to name the next dog "Baskerville."

I have friends who have a dog named Jeppesen. Unfortunately it is scared to death of flying. They call it the chicken hound.
 
Dollars.

Here Dollars! Nice dog, Dollars. Anyone see Dollars, I can't find Dollars. Where's Dollars?

FIDO. Fog Investigation and Dispersal Operation was a system used for dispersing fog from an airfield so that aircraft could land safely. The device was developed by Arthur Hartley for RAF Bomber Command airfields to permit returning bombers to land in bad weather by burning fuel in rows on either side of the runway.

Fast... Mustang
Slow and low... Cub
Ugly... Warhog
Big and ugly... Buff
Then there's a whole selection of hawks you could use. From WWII fighters (Warhawk) to current day helicopters (Blackhawk).
My 3 are Lucky, Rose, and Koby. Since they are all rescues, they came with those names. The latter named after a bball player (along with the family's two daughters).

I knew of a family named Hussey that named their dogs Brazen and Shameless.
