Also the Me-163 was known as "The Fuhers' Fart" by the not so longer loyal German pilots at the end of the war.

When my dad was a radar observer (backseater) in F-89C, he talked of the longggg takeoff rolls and also the tendency the airplane had for ingesting FOD/gravel because of the intakes being so low to the ground--wonder if this nasty habit contributed to the nicknam gravel gobbler. They eventually installed screens on the intakes to prevent the J35s from ingesting gravel, FOD etc.

Heh, Heh, Heh....

Not EVEN gonna try & compete with the "Swiss List",
