Hey now UAL - you can't be mad at the new 'Rhino' guys if the beloved Phantom didn't even have first dibbs on the its' own name 
Would 'Rhino II' make you feel better?
(Btw - I don't where the Super Hornt guys came up with that name. Maybe someone in th know will speak up - BDGERJMN?)
My first time learning of the 'Rhino' moniker was when I was with some old crews from VMFP-3 (last active duty unit flying RF-4Bs)

We had a rash of mx issues and diverts on the MD11 for a couple years back in the mid 90's. So we started calling it the Scud, like the missles Sadam Housain had, because, like the Scud Missles, once you launched it, you never knew where it would land!
