It is just recently (last year or so) that I've heard the term Viper
used. I saw a high school friend of mine in 2001. He knows I fly and I
knew he was in the NG flying. When I asked him what he flew now he said,
"Falcons."

Makes me glad to hear that. I've always liked the "Falcon" name
better.

Maybe "ViperDoc" can chime in here as to why the two names?
