The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter could be named the Lightning II as the USAF narrows down the monikers to six finalists.
President George W. Bush will announce the winning name in a visit to Lockheed's factory on July 7.
The next favourite is Spitfire II while earlier favourite, Fury, was dropped due to concerns that the name will cause a trademark conflict with the Plymouth Fury auto.
