Drone nicknames

[Amckim2084]

I started out with P3S and called it Phantom Of The Skies, idea from Phantom Of The Opera which is how I got my YouTube channel name.

Then I got a Spark and I call it The Spark Side, idea from Star Wars. Joining The Spark Side lol. I even got a Star Wars theme skin for it.

I also have a Mavic Air and I call it The Mavic Airshow. Just a random idea I had.

Mine answers to “Quad Hawk.”
It seems that the pigeons are not much in love with my quad.

I like naming mine after military aircraft.

My P3P was Crusader after the RF8. My Mavic Pro was Osprey after the V22 and my Mavic 2 Pro is Raven, after the EF111.

I kind of broke tradition by not naming my M2P after a US Marine aircraft.

I worked on the "FB" version of the 111 (FB111) when it was deployed to Pease AFB, NH in 1970.

BumbleBee. Because it doesn't look like something that should be able to fly, but does!

Are there any nicknames amongst sUAS flyers for their craft? It's common with manned aircraft but haven't heard too many for the unmanned stuff.

My current nicknames for the Mavic 2 are:

Flying Brick
Flying Potato
Baby HK (after Skynet's air force of VTOL human exterminators in the Terminator movies)
Cat terror
Little Killer

I also call the Phantom series:

Flying throwpillow
The $1000 doggie chew toy
The-thing-that's-stuck-in-the-neighbor's-tree

My M2P is Cosmic Charlie.✌
