Quote of the Day
My system was to always attack the [enemy] at his disadvantage if possible, and if I were attacked at my disadvantage I usually broke off the combat, for in my opinion the [Germans] in the air must be beaten at [their] own game, which is cunning.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "Slip"
Not my callsign, but a buddy's. While flying an MC-12, he had to relieve an unfortunate itch, so he unzipped, scratched, and zipped back up. Later learned that his CO, whose first name was Lisa, had been monitoring cockpit video. Slip = Showed Lisa his Infantile Pen*s.
