Vedexent Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) OK, I have to admit the C-101EB is a bit of a mouthful in conversation. Much to my delight, I found that the air force designation is the E.25 Mirlo ("Blackbird"). I think I'm going to start referring to this plane as the Mirlo or Blackbird as opposed to C-101EB :) The combat variant that I believe AvioDev is working on - the C-101-CC-02 - appears to have been designated A-36 Halcón ("Falcon") by the Chilean Air Force. So ... Mirlo and Halcón - Blackbirds and Falcons? :) Edited January 29, 2015 by Vedexent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harm_ Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) :) Culopollo translated into english is Chicken butt. I'll rather call the plane Mirlo, but yeah spanish pilots have a extrange sense of humor nicknaming planes. These are nicknames, not official names: F-18: Bizcocho (Sponge Cake) Mirage F1: Abuela (Grandma) Mirage III: Plancheta (Iron, from ironing clothes, not from the metal) Eurofighter: Super Plancheta (Super-Iron) F-5: Bicicleta (Bicycle) F-104: Lapicero (Pencil) F-4: Ladrillo / Hierro (Brick or also, Iron from the metal) ...

Mostly C15 pilots :D "No le busques tres pies" :music_whistling: Anyway, I don't know how to translate that into english :doh: becouse saying "c101" is hard. Well you can just call it E-25 ("E" comes from Entrenador (Trainer)), the official designation in the Spanish Air Force Edited January 29, 2015 by harm_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
