The USAF Thunderbirds predate Gallo Thunderbird by at least a year. They were founded in 1953, and the law allowing Gallo Thunderbird's creation wasn't passed until the next year. The wine was certainly out by 1957. The Ford Thunderbird _might_ predate the wine, since it came out in 1955. The email client though, no excuse for that one. https://drunkard.com/whats-the-word-thunderbird/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbird_(wine) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Thunderbirds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Thunderbird -- When I were a lad, if grandpa caught us double sigging, it's be straight to bed with no bread and butter after a good thrashing. -- Peter Radcliffe on ASR
