Quote of the Day
I had no system of shooting as such. It is definitely more in the feeling side of things that these skills develop. I was at the front five and a half years, and you just get a feeling for the right amount of lead.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "Piston"
Last name was Liston. During his area solo he had to urinate extremely bad. After landing while exiting the jet he let loose and sprayed half the aircraft. Snuck back into the flight room but was ratted out by maintenance a few hours later.
