"Spam Can":  North American P-51 Mustang  

Because of a structure which was a bit too light and weak to resist the stress of combat. Too many were lost when flown outside design limits, also because of control problems.

"Tsetse":  De Havilland Mosquito FBk.XVIII
 
A Mosquito with a larger cannon.

"Voting Member":  F-16 pilot  

Because the computers can override his commands, if they are outside the design envelope

(hahahaha)
