Larry Danner has a degree in Aerospace Engineering and it has stuck on him for the past 24 years!

Lab Rat
-
F-16 crew chief at 61FS Luke AFB, Arizona, developed Leukemia fall of 95' but beat it ! Went into remission over the winter and actually returned to the flight line the following fall. Pilots affectionately now call him "Lab rat" because of all the medical procedures he has been through, and the fact nothing seems to fase him.

Lightening
-
WSOs briefed the weather during flight brief. Listed on sign out board occasionally next to weather was "Lightening FL 200". So this new WSO briefed that lightening was at FL 200. Ok, that was part of the WSO briefings, too. But then he asked me after the brief how the weather man knew there was going to be lightening at only that altitude. I told him that was the name of the tanker refueling track in use and the altitude being used.

Limdu
-
One of those pilots who didn't do too much around the squadron. Last name was Litto. LIMDU is a common abbreviation for the term "Limited Duty." Just a perfect fit for this gentleman.

Lingus

His first name is Kenny...you can figure out the rest...

Mono brow, neanderthal hairy, flat forehead, large knuckles. The missing link between ape and man.

-
Long Distance Duck
-
I got this nickname because I use the last drop of fuel from my tank. I almost crashed with my F-16 when my wingman had a malfunction - I helped him land and my engine ran out of fuel the second I hit the ground.
-
Lor
-
The boys from the Kun greeted me off the bus with a rousing fighter pilot song that had portions outlawed for public consumption by the Wolf. Some were issued desk drawer LORs and hence the call sign...

Lude

This dude was extremely slow. We were convinced he was on a 24 hour supply of qualudes.

Lumpy

When I was a kid I fell off my bike and badly seperated my left shoulder, so now my collarbone sticks out noticably.
