Equipment nicknames So I know pretty much most of the ones floating around for USAF airframes, how about other services or vehicles?
Examples:
F-15C Eagle = Albino
F-15E Strike Eagle = Mud Hen
F-16 Fighting Falcon = Viper/LGPOS
B-52 Stratofortress = BUFF
B-1B = Bone
A-10 Warthog/Thunderbolt II = Hog
F-4 Phantom = Rhino (I've heard the Navy started calling the F/A-18E/F's these now)
C-130 Hercules = Slick
AC-130 Specter = Gun Pig
Doesn't have to be aircraft, maybe there are some out their for M1A2 Abrams or Bradley's.

F-16 Fighting Falcon = Lawn Dart
B-52 Stratofortress = BUFF
B-1B = Bone
A-10 Warthog/Thunderbolt II = Hog
F-4 Phantom = Rhino (I've heard the Navy started calling the F/A-18E/F's these now)
C-130 Hercules = Herc
AC-130 Specter = Gunships

We called the USS Enterprise "The Pig"
Nuclear Reactors on "The Pig" were called "Tractors" - so instead of being a "Reactor Operator" I was a "Tractor Operator"
