Social media pokes fun at Harper with names for new campaign plane

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper unveiled his campaign plane Tuesday morning in Toronto, a chartered Air Canada Airbus 319 wrapped withthe Conservative Party'slogo and colours.But it doesn't have a name yet.

The CBC's James Cudmore, who is covering the Harper campaign, revealed Tuesdaythatreporters have a tradition of nicknaming the party planes. During the last federal election in 2011, reporters dubbed the Conservative jet ScaremongAir, whilethe Liberal plane was calledUnnecessAir andthe NDP's was known as Hipster Air.

Shortly after that revelation, #NameHarpersPlanestarted trending on Twitter.

Some took inspiration from the names of real airlines.

Therewerehomages to Air Canada, WestJet... even theGimli Glider incident, the nickname for the 1983Air Canada flightthat glided to safety after running out of fuel.

And why stop at Canadian-based airlines? Some Twitter users tweaked the names of international air carriers, like Ireland's Aer Lingus and Germany'sLufthansa.

Of course, there were more thana few jokes inspired by the Duffy trial.

The trial is on break until November, but that didn't stop users from incorporating tweets about unread emails, the $90,000 and Ray Novak, Harper's current chief of staff.

And because we're talking airlines, why not pay tribute to Senator Nancy Ruth and the ice-cold camembert?

The Conservative senatorslammed airline breakfast foods back in April.

She told reporters she shouldn't be expected to eat flight breakfasts with her now infamous line, "If you want ice-cold camembert with broken crackers, have it!"

Many looked south and referred to Air Force One.

Others chose nicknamesto reflect theirpredictions aboutHarper's political future.

Some thought the nicknames should extend beyond the Conservativeplane to other modes of Harper campaign transport.

Andthis summed it all up.

UPDATE: We have a winner!
