Bender who's a regular on the Afterburn podcast is an -A driver and he refers to it as Fat Amy...

 

One of the episodes they questioned the names of the others in the family as the -B Fatter Amy and -C Fattest Amy

 

Somehow how I can't think of anything else when I see them now. 

Now that's just body shaming at it's worst.   I personally think the Charlie version is the most pleasing of the bunch (with the understanding that the bar is set very, very low).

The C is the best performing of the family, but alas has no gun.

what self respecting fighter pilot flys a jet without a gun?

Am I sensing a slight amount of Navy bashing there.. :whistle:  (you are right about the gun of course)..:)

 

What makes the C perform better?

Although I love making fun of my Navy bro’s; No Navy bashing this time..just no-gun bashing.

 

The C has a bigger wing-it’s turn performance is better..but without a gun, that better turn performance is somewhat wasted in that the end state of a turning fight is often a gun engagement.

I’d wager the larger wing has something to do with it.   Or the fact that C’s are flown by Naval Aviators???  Lol.

Fat Amy is a great nickname.

 

I also like the lesser used “Battle Penguin “

 

Apparently the Nellis gang are trying to get the nickname “Panther” to stick-

 

Click me

 

Good luck with that-

Hehe.. Seems like bit of a stretch to call it Panther.. How about Kangaroo?.. They also have a pouch on their belly..
