Interesting that in the USN, anyway, only the F-4 didn't have a "nickname", at
leats while I was in, perhaps the F-8 didn't either-John???. All other jets did. When I flew the jet for 10 years, it was just the 'Phantom', where all others were 'Scooters, Dogs, Spads, SLUFs, BUFs, Hoovers, Hummers, BUGs, Turkeys, etc.. The USAF had many 'names' for the Phantom-Lead Sled, Rhino, being two I remember. P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.) Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer
