F-302 Nickname?

[zatniketel]

Does the F-302 have a nickname? Like the F-16 is a falcon, an F-15 is an eagle, a P-51 is a mustang.

[DrMongol]

I'm not sure but I dont think it has a nickname to that extent, they just call it the F-302 or the 302. What do you think would a good nickname be for it?

I like Phoenix... sounds pretty good. And like most of the names are pretty much from old civilizations on Earth.

The craft is a human-made death glider. Goa'ulds are snakes; Mongoose kill and eat snakes.

Mongoose is teh win!

Now, now, wouldn't want to be infringing on BSG copyrights....Been alot of those suggestions lately, Asgard having BSG Hyperdrives, nicknames, the Daedalus having BSG rail guns...

Asgard #1: "Use the FTL drive!"
Asgard #2: "Sorry, we can't, that's infringing on copywright laws!"
Asgard #1: "Damn, why don't we launch the Tau'ri's Rapto-"
Asgard #3: "Don't finish that sentence! Also a copywright!"
Asgard #1: "Damn...Ok...How about we call the Daedalus and get it to fire it's main canno-"
Asgard #2: "Don't finish that sentence!"
Asgard #1 Looks around: "Dammit all to Ko-"
Asgard #2+3: "Don't-"
Asgard #1: "Frak Copywright infringments! To Kobol with the lot of ya, launch the vipers, man the raptors, arm the main cann-"

The raven is the nickname for the EF-111, the electronic warfare variant of the F-111 bomber.

Phoenix it is then! Because the Phoenix is a mythical bird and appears in Chinese, Assyrian, Egyptian, Russian, Japanese, and even Native-American mythology. IMO, this should be the nickname as its:
1) mythical like everything else in the show
2) it comes from different mythologies from many countries
3) there's no aircraft that has been called Phoenix as its production codename/nickname

However you also have the Roc, giant eagles from Arabic myth. Rocs were so large that they fed on elephants. There's stories of these giant birds of prey from the Voyages of Sinbad, when he ventured into the island of Madagascar.
