Planes Named After Bugs

[Idolofreak]

Just bored so here's some planes named after bugs.

F/A-18 Hornet

Cessna A-37 Dragonfly

Folland Fo.144 Gnat T.1

Edgley EA-7 Optica

Also called the "Humbug" for its appearance and engine sound.

Bumble Bee

Custom Built World's Smallest Plane

I'd get claustrophobia real fast! :blink:

It only has a seven foot wingspan. It doesn't need very big wings because of the biplane wing layout. Gives it more lift.

Republic Aviation RC-3 Seabee

de Havilland DH.82 Tiger Moth

Piper L-4 Grasshopper

There's one in Council Bluffs, NE and believe it or not it says "Bugsmasher" on the nose. :huh:

Curtiss June Bug

Experimental 1908 Plane

I know right? I actually didn't really know either, but then I realized there were a few I had never really paid attention to. Kinda cool.
