Name an Aviation Theme Suite -- Win a Prize!

Blue Sky? Cloud Nine? Snoopy? Sally Ride? Supersonic? Glamorous
Glennis?

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!

USS Enterprise suite

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


Jay H,

"USS Enterprise" was an aircraft carrier LONG before it was a Starship...

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:

I'm seeing a Suite with much diversity....

THE HAWK SUITE


Montblack
Not a lot of "Gopher" planes out there

Our Heroes Suite
small corners of the rooms dedicated to different individuals that
played a major roles in the development and promotion of both military and
general aviation, people that may be hard to dedicate a whole suite to
individually or who may not be commonly known to the public but who's names
are familiar and their stories very interesting... Kelly Johnson, Bill Lear,
Clyde Cessna, William Piper, Walter and Olive Beech, Donald Douglas, Howard
Hughes, ect.

Our Heroines Suite
dedicated to the women in aviation, same theory as above... Jackie
Cochrane, Emilia Earhardt, Bess Coleman, Amy Johnson, the WACs, 99's, WASPs,
Patty Wagstaff, Pancho Barnes, those 4 cute KC135 drivers and their story as
well as many more that I'm not familiar with but are just as deserving.

Around the World Suite
dedicated to each record setting flight around the world
US Army Air Service 1924, Fossett, Hughes, Rutan/Yeager, Breitling Balloon,
Wiley Post, Richarda Morrow-Tait 1948 (first woman), Ross Perot/Jay Coburn
(1st helicopter), Dick Smith (solo helicopter), Don Rodewald (first
wheelchaired pilot), Fred Lasby (solo at 83 years old)

Race the Sun Suite
dedicated to the fastest aircraft of several eras, types, and designs

Jim

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.

RV or Van Grunsven suite
Shuttle suite
USS Enterprise suite
Blue Angels/Thunderbirds suite
Spitfire suite
