Air Midwest, based in Wichita, Kansas:
	Air Mudwest
		or
	The Mudliners

I used to fly for a charter outfit called Redwing Flight Activities.
We of course called them Deadthing Fright Activities.  Across town at
the big airport was United Beech (and you can figure what we called
them), and Yingling, known to all as Dingaling.

We in aviation have always mutilated airplane names:
	Cessna 172 Skyhawk	-	Chicken Hawk
	Beech Bonanza		-	Beech Bannana
	Aeronca Champ 7AC	-	Airknocker
	Ercoupe			-	Urp-Cup
	Beech 18 "Twin Beech"	-	Twin (censored)
	Piper Warrior		-	Worrier
	Piper Aztec		-	Twin Injun
