A friend of mine has a Cessna 150 he rebuilt
after it was blown over in a storm. It is called Mr Bojangles.

When I acquired the RV, my partner almost
immediately anthropomorphized it: Its rego is
SOL, so, of course, its name needs to be
âSolly.â The fairings on the wheels (spats
or pants, depending on whether youâre anglo or
American) became Sollyâs shoes. Everyone gets
upset if you stand on his shoes. When I
installed the autopilot a couple of years ago,
she christened it, âBarry.â So now we climb
aboard Solly and let Barry do the flying.
Traditionally boats and airplanes have been
feminine, but she went in a different direction,
which I thought was a bit interesting. - mark
