Frontier Airlines (2nd) (Denver) announced the finalists for the names of the badger gracing the tail of its newest 99-seat Embraer ERJ 190 aircraft operated by Republic Airlines (2nd) (Indianapolis). Thousands of Wisconsin residents offered up their favorite names for Frontier’s newest animal and Frontier narrowed the list to Bella, Buddy and Cookie.
The names and an online ballot will be posted on FrontierMidwest.com/namethebadger. Wisconsin residents can also vote at the Frontier Airlines Landing at Milwaukee’s Summerfest. Entries must be received by July 4, 2010. The winning name will be announced on July 5.
Copyright Photo: PhotoLab507. Republic Airlines’ (2nd) Embraer ERJ 190-100 IGW N174HQ (msn 19000211) stopped at Grand Rapids (GRR) on May 15.
The Badger came in on the 14th from DEN. First flight out was indeed the 15th and this shot was taken on that day. The flight in was 11:30p on the 14th so….basically correct. It overnighted at GRR
Just for the accuracy of the report. Great site here!
