Let's name the baby

Are those Colt Pythons? (Which would be another good name, come to think of it....)

Similar, but while they have the vent rib and the full length lug under the barrel, the lug looks hollow. And the frame isn’t quite right.

The production probably didn’t have the budget for two Pythons anyway.

They do seem to have the Colt style cylinder release.

I'm guessing the hollow lug is probably a feature to differentiate a movie prop from the real thing, e.g. a Baldwin safety.
 
Stupid question, but I assume this is a hypothetical thread? Otherwise I really missed something.

Thread 'What did you learn today?'

Toda- er... Yesterday, I learned that my wife (@SkyChaser ) is pregnant with our first child! I'm currently in the Panicking stage and I think my mom is getting ready to move next door (Not sure if @Half Fast will be able to stop or even slow her down).

So... what did the rest of you learn today?

If it's a boy he should be named Hellion. With TWO pilots for parents? Guaranteed.

I vote for Spinner as a nickname. OK, with that settled, we need the Birth Certificate Name, or BCN!

Skip is my nickname, preceded by Skipper when I was a toddler. Everett is my BCN, with at least one hundred years of family precedent. Any wonder I prefer to be called Skip?:aureola:

So Spinner as a nickname, easily evolves to Spin as the kid grows. But what does it evolve from?

-Skip
 
Okay so I don't know y'all's last name but that could factor in the decision. If it happens to be Andrews, or Anderson, or anything beginning with an A, then the baby's name has to begin with a P.

I know that Piper Orville Andrews sounds goofy, but the initials would be POA. The baby has to have the initials POA. Change your last name if you have to.
 
If you name him either "Eject" or "Surrender", would that disqualify him from anything but French military service?

Hah!

The French get such a bad rap. I've worked with them in two Reforgers. They actually were some bad a$$ed motherlovers. More so than the French Foreign Legion, which can be a mixed bag.
 
Do like Elon and use cryptic names like IO-360...
 
Nacelle for your girl, Cirrus for the boy.

Bellanca (already suggested) would be great!

Pops has a plane. Find a hungry CFI to train in that so you don't pay for rental. Come on dad, let him borrow the plane for 6 months!

And stop hanging out with eman and spending all your money on hookers and blow. Gotta watch every penny with a kid on the way.

I paused flight training to find a quality wife, the most important decision you make.

We had 2 boys, also good decision.

Raises at work made the finances good.

5 years after marriage, resumed training, had my PPL in 3 months.

I am a husband and father first, pilot further down the ranks. Heresy here, but I have outstanding results at the top of the order, and still over 800 hours of quality long cross country visiting relatives and other vacations.

Tomorrow I am flying with a girl named Camber. That's an idea.
