B-36 "Peacemaker" sounds like it means what it says.

"Stormovik" translates as "Storm Bringer", which seems fitting for the most heavily armed ground attack aircraft of the war.

Or perhaps the most apt name for a fighter the F-22 "Raptor"

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, since this thread is a frakkin' long but the...

F-4 Phantom and also the Wild Weasel, always thought that was the perfect name as far as imagery for it's mission.
