How this list was compiled

A list of 123 aviation team names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-03 and filed in five groups. Every name is built on a word of flying: a cockpit, a runway, a cabin, a hangar, a glider, a rotor or a parachute. The names are our own suggestions; none was taken from an airline, an aircraft maker, a squadron, a display team or a show, and any match with a real team is a coincidence. The aviation words the names lean on were looked up on 2026-10-03 in twelve English Wikipedia articles, text under CC BY-SA 4.0: Aviation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation), Aircraft pilot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_pilot), Parachuting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachuting), Glossary of aerospace engineering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_aerospace_engineering), Flight attendant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_attendant), Air traffic control (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_traffic_control), Aircraft maintenance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_maintenance), Helicopter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter), Glider (sailplane) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glider_(sailplane)), Aerobatics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobatics), Airport (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport) and Flight instructor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_instructor). Compared by script on 2026-10-03 with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
