Lt. Amanda "Stalin" Lee is the first woman to be a Blue Angels demonstration pilot

A lot of names are indeed mundane. Met a pilot yesterday, callsign “FALCOR”. The reason was it took him much longer than expected to get qualified in some task because of a string of personal calamities, so it became a never-ending story

One of my favorites is an A-10 pilot named “DOUBLE-TAP”, not because of his gunnery skills but because everytime he had to in-flight refuel he would whack the refueling boom at least twice.

I knew a pilot named Jones, but he was hispanic so his callsign was “HO-NEZ”.

But enough digressions… oh look, the [OBJ]! @OBJ
