coolest "name" for aircraft

I reckon the Buffalo was so named because you could fit one inside the fuselage.

Actually, like all American planes. It was the British who started calling them the Buffalo first. And so is the same with the Wildcat, Warhawk/Tomahawk/Kittyhawk, and some others I can't think of right away. The Americans, just adopted the names given, and then gradually started giving names to their planes on their own.

The "buffalo" was called the buffalo because it was fat/ugly and was pretty damn horrible, and a good game target
