	Definitely need more like this. How about ground vehicles (Sherman, Abrahms, Bradley, Paladin)?

	Thanks! Yes, I was definitely thinking about doing something like that, but I'm not sure if there are enough which are recognizable...but either way, I'll definitely be making more along these lines.

	How about "BUFF" as a bonus answer for B-52?

	DoD 4120.15-L "Model Designation of Aerospace Military Vehicles" indicates that the SR-71 has no popular name. "Blackbird" is a nickname with no official sanction. If you are going to accept "Blackbird" and "Huey," you must accept Habu, Double Ugly, Rhino, Spam Can, BUFF, Viper, Lawn Dart, Electric Jet, Jump Jet, Bone, Warthog, and a host of others.

	Great game. I was surprised not to see the B-17 Flying Fortress on the list.

	great quiz - I'd like to see another one! Missed not having the Flying Fortress, Super Fortress, Thunderbolt (een with the t-bolt 2 & 3), Corsair, "Tweet' (most likely unofficial name), Thunder Chief.... you could do multiple quizzes on this one!

	Agree with NotBurt--the well-used alternates belong....especially BUFF.

	No F-104 Starfighter/Flying Ground Nail?

	If you're going to include "Warthog", "Huey", and "Bone", you should probably also include "Viper" (F-16), "Stinkbug" (F-117), and "BUFF" (B-52). All of these are common vernacular used by the pilots who fly them and pilots who work with them in combined operations. Some of the other previously suggested ones are much less common and almost never heard among combat pilots.

	For the AC-130: AC-130J Ghostrider, and AC-130W Stinger II should also be valid options
