Airplanes\' name
EHM-1199 Philip:
But what names to put on the poll Paolo?
EHM-1671 Ben:
Ok, so I suppose we'll just bypass my idea?
EHM-0641 Rico:
What about Yuri Gagarin ??
Colonel Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin, the first man in space, while the first space walk was by Alexei Leonov on the Voskhod Spacecraft. they both also deserve to be mentioned on one of our aircrafts
EHM-0361 Karsten:
Well Ben your idea would be great if we where only european and american pilot here. But we can't just make it about famous people from USA and Europe, because we have pilot from other parts of the world then those two. So we still need to think world, and I don't think that going to be an easy job. Even if we just used famous europeans that wouldn't be easy. Philip came up with Sir Francis Drake, but then had second thoughts because that might offend some. Same thing would be the case if someone where to bring up the name of Lord Horatio Nelson. As a Dane I wouldn't be that happy to fly in a plane named after him. So we need to agree on someone that are famous not just in the whole world. No matter if they are from USA, europe, asia or another part of the world.
EHM-1821 Javier:
