So we FINALLY finished the new "Piper Cub Suite" yesterday (some of that artwork has been in our dining room for over three years!) at our aviation theme suite hotel, and we're embarking on our last two aviation theme suites, the "Apollo Suite" and the "Oshkosh Suite" -- both which have been in the works for over two years. However, since we created the "Cub Suite" by chopping one of our 2-story townhouse suites in half (by walling off the stairs), we suddenly find ourselves with an "extra" suite to name! Thus, it's time to play "Name That Suite"! The winner earns a free night in "their" suite, upon completion. Here are the rules: 1. The name must roll off the tongue, and be no longer than four words. (I.E.: "The Charles Lindbergh Suite") 2. No aviation disasters, please. (No "Hindenburg Suite", please...) 3. Nothing potentially offensive or double-meaning (No "Bong Suite" or "Hellcat Suite"...) 4. Combat-related names are iffy, unless they "sound pretty" to the uninformed. For example, our "Memphis Belle Suite" sounds "pretty" to folks who have no idea who Bob Morgan was, and our "Mustang Suite" sounds kinda racy, even to those who have NO idea what a P-51 is... We must be careful to appeal to the NON-flying crowd, too, which eliminates a lot of great names. Ideally, the suite would honor a well-known era or aspect of aviation. Look here to see which names are already in use: http://alexisparkinn.com/theme_suites.htm Good luck! I think the Rutan Suite honoring Burt would be a good choice. |

I guess you already have a Wright Brothers Suite, so... never mind...
;-) I like the Dick Rutan Suite though, suggested by John... |

Jay, what part of "Dick Rutan Suite" didn't you understand? :-) Well, Dick's a great pilot in his own right, but I don't think his accomplishments are on the same level as Burt's. Just my opinion, of course. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I guess he did say, Burt, didn't he... Dohh! ;-)
(I'm actually finding it difficult to type the following words, but...) I was actually thinking, Dick. (There's almost no way to phrase that, so it sounds good!!!) You could call it the "Voyager Suite" http://www.centennialofflight.gov/es...rutan/EX32.htm Best Regards, Todd (Happily married to my "wife" for 11 years and have never given Dick a second thought except for coming up with your suite name) |

Well, my "official" entry would be the "Golden Suite" for the Golden Age in
aviation. Like I stated in response to the DC-3 post, it would be around all the "classic" airframes from that time. You could also include non-aviation items from that era in the suite to cater to the non-aviation minded folks who still like to "reminisce."

![]() How about a suite for the homebuilt community? "DIY -- Homebuilts" Could include fixed and rotary wing and gliders. Lots of folks out there with these machines. I wrote an article about one guy that put a 350HP V-8 in his E-Z. Or, "Rutan Suite" ....and decorate with photos of the extraordinary ships that have been birthed at Scaled Composites. Who can you name that has advanced aviation more than Rutan in the last 20 years? Go Fly! Casey |
