The RAF hawk trainers are based in the valley

So you will always see those flying about, we get them here (blackpool) daily practising ILS approachs etc. Mix that in with the eurofighter typhoon flying over every 2 minutes and its pretty annoying sometimes.

Yes it's a good name, so good that it's already been used twice LoL.
The original C-74 Globemaster was a radial engined transport from the late 40's that participated in the Berlin airlift. Later came the C-124 Globemaster 2, which also had 4 radials. The C-17 is the Globemaster 3, and if you think it looks cool in the picture, you gotta watch one takeoff

The TBD Devastator is another cool one. Too bad the plane itself sucked so bad. The only people it devastated were its crews.

B-52 Stratofortress. "fortress in the clouds" Now that's a name!

Awesome call on all of these, but especially the SB. Probably my favourite WW2-era aircraft, all things considered.

My vote for best (certainly most fitting) name though (provided we're counting 'official unofficial' names) would the the SR-71 'Habu' - 'Blackbird' was the name used once it was acknowledged to the public, but all who worked with the aircraft preferred the former name, a Habu being a dark poisonous pit viper native to the island chain including Okinawa, where many of the SR-71s operational sorties were flown from.
