Hands down winner, "Fighting Falcon" replaced by "Viper."
I'm of the opinion that if they'd just left the redundant "Fighting" off
the name it would've had a chance.
They tried but the maker of Falcon business jets already had the inside
track and protested loudly.
Dassault builds more than Biz-jets.
They have a rather successful line of hanger queens and apron weights too.
