What is the term called for the "nickname" of a airplane. Like the F-101 is a "VooDoo."

It isn't its nickname, or handle....it is its_____________?:mad2:
 
For foreign aircraft it's the NATO reporting name. Domestically I think it's the UN designation.
 
Nickname...vs Pilot using a Hollywood Callsign...
 
I would have to go with "name" since going the other way "what is the VooDoo DESIGNATION?" The answer would be F-101.
 
There is the official name for an aircraft and the nickname

A-10 Thunderbolt vs the Warthog.

B-52 Stratofortress vs BUFF
