Perris Gets New Shark!

Recommended Posts

"Papa Victor" came up for it's 49,000 rotation maintenance need, so she got new wings and stuff. Ben and Pat also decided to step up and give her a new look too! B|

PV is now their newest Shark! Paint job is almost done. Still have her eyes and teeth painting to do. She's already a beauty! :)
Oh, and BIG news for the cameraflyer office. The handle has been relocated! No more HUGE reach to grab it. It's now where is -should- be...matching where our Gypsey's handle is. Whoo Hoo!! :D

They hope to have her flying -next- weekend for the 100-ways. B|

Man, She's purty.



Yes, yes she is! B| Now they have to come up with a proper name for her. Something other than "Blue Shark". :P

"Shark Air" is our first shark, properly named because her tail number ends in "SA". What goes (properly) with PV?

Piscine Vicious, Piscine Voracious - Piscine means "having to do with fish", but everyone will think you're saying "pissing".

Pilotrema Verticalus, Pristiophorus Verticalus - The initial words are two genera of sawsharks. The second words are made up in the fine tradition of some well-known nature films.

Pilotrema Vicious/Voracious, Pristiophorus Vicious/Voracious - combination of above.

Piscine Volante, Pilotrema Volante, Pristiophorus Volante - as above with the Italian word for "flying". Or 'Volare' (the infinitive 'to fly' in Latin and Italian) or 'Volaré' ('I will fly' in Spanish, but all the older jumpers will think of an old Plymouth instead.)

Looks a bit like an orca to me apart from the colour being wrong!!



The pattern is exactly like Shark Air's. Looks different because she's still blind and mute. ;) Wait 'til she gets her teeth! :)

But is the handle BIG (like Spaceland's and Chicago's)? Or is it still too small to have 3 on the step? Do you now have a handle for front front float? How about a bar over the top of the door?

As a pilot, I think you'll appreciate what I think is going on there; attempting to put some sort of limit on the rear CG.

At least, that's the way I've always looked at it.

Well they've always called her "Perris Super" at manifest and not "Papa Victor".

"Papa Vicious" might be nice. Somethin' with "pearly" for the nice set of chops might work. "Prince Valiant" was always a favorite comic strip of mine, but he wasn't a fish either.

Is there still time to make it into a cobra ? then it could be the Perris Viper - that would be way too cool !

Perris Vixen ;)


Yeah! Love it! But how to tie it to a fish? :P

This weekend, some were lamenting that they didn't make it a hammerhead or a crocodile. :P

Not really. They called her 'Super Otter' when at her home DZ.

"Perris Viper". Hmmmmm....

That's awesome Lori. I haven't been to Perris in ages just because my team is at Elsinore. I definately have to get there on one of my offf team training days.

So that's why we haven't seen you at Perris lately. Who's in your team, Ev?
