I kicked that one around also. Lots of characters, lots of airplanes, but
would it "click" with a non pilot? Would a non pilot know what "The Golden
Age" (of Aviation) was?

Why not call it the "Golden Age Suite" or just "Golden Suite." Make the
theme around the golden era of aviation that would include not only the
DC-3
but the air racers, Gee Bee, For Tri-Motor, well, you get it.

The obvious one is the DC-3 suite, but beyond that...

We would LOVE a DC-3 suite -- but what to call it? "DC-3" just sounds
dumb, to non-pilots. "Dakota Suite" might work. Isn't that what the
Brits
called the Gooney Bird?

Shuttle suite

Well, we've already stretched the aviation theme to fit the "Apollo
Suite" -- simply cuz I really like that theme -- but the "Shuttle Suite"
just sounds too much like a bus. I think we're done with the space
program,
for now. (If we ever add that third building, THEN we'll be looking at
the
shuttle, methinks.

USS Enterprise suite

While I personally love Star Trek, that would make almost no sense in
our
current hotel. It's gotta be aviation.

Top Gun suite

Now THAT would be an easy, and popular, suite. We really don't have any
suites that honor the modern era (the closest we get is the Blackbird
Suite,
and that plane was from the 1960s), so it fills that niche, too.

Too bad it sounds so militaristic and masculine. Gotta think of
something
that appeals to the non-flying chicks, who make the lodging decisions
75%
of
the time... Maybe the "Maverick Suite"?

Please don't do a UAV suite.

THAT goes without saying. Unmanned vehicles are about as interesting as
pocket calculators, IMHO.
