Mike's U.S. Plane Names

Updated 05/23/09 - 2 Jetblue names added

Reg#'s marked in red indicate most recent names seen.

These are a listing of some of the plane names I've seen from several airlines. Although, I didn't see a lot of these in Phoenix,
I saw them on my trips all over the US.  Some of these names may not be current, but I'll try to update them as I see new ones.
