My stupid question for the day: Is his name really Sheldon?

Pretty sure if you asked the turtle what his name was, he would NOT say "Sheldon." 

Frontier does that though, they give all the animals on their tails cutesy little names.

For all intents and purposes, you Tucson guys can call him "Samedamn," as in "That's the Samedamn turtle plane we get every day."
"I'm sorry sir, you can't take photos of that aircraft."

"If you've seen my work, you'd know I really can't take photos of any aircraft."

Frontier calls them ANIMAL TALES and each one has its own name.

I think I like Samedamn better than Sheldon.  Has a bit of a catchy ring to it.

Wow, I had no idea. After seeing the other 49 I can see why he's called Samedamn.
