Is the “McDonald-Douglas” misspelling a joke or a mistake? Curious if this is an existing joke that I haven’t seen until now, because it kind of works.


The McDonald-Douglas Fast Engineering company. I'm flyin' it!


Even if unintentional, it’s funny because that’s how MD operated. Sure it’s a plane. Is it good? No.



That doesn't answer GP's question.

No, but it's helpful for people like me, who didn't remember the correct spelling.


Heh, a mistake, maybe a Freudian slip, but I'll leave it uncorrected for the lols.
