or a plane that looks like henry fonda. I assume it is a catch 22 reference.
Major, Major Major Major is a character in it.
A plane that has the same name as it's maker.

There you go. Thanks Sean.
Tell me two aircraft named after arachnids. There may be more than two, but two spring to mind for me.

OK, then, in that vein - where was it rumoured that Northrop had bought the mainwheels for the F-89 Scorpion?

Hmmmmm, I have a pic of Omega 2, but that has monocoque (or at least covered) outriggers, not lattice....
