The sarcastic names for airlines are mild- Untied for United, Teeny-Weeny Airlines for TWA, etc. I rather prefer "Crowd Killer" for anything 727 sized and larger. The Cessna which Mr. Munson of N. Y. Yankees fame died in, is referred to as a Munson Burner. Well I like them, Mark Kohls ihnp4!ihuxw!thor
