Aircraft name

The name on 86-0346 is not Superstitious Mysterious 2. It is Superstitious Aloysius 2. I know this because I am the crew chief and I named the jet. It is named in honor of my Grandfather Maj A. R. Scroggins who was a bombadier with the 95th Bomb Group (Heavy) in World War 2. He was shot down in the original Superstitious Aloysius, B-17 Tail #42-6098, on 04Jan1944. They had recieved flak damage over Keil, Germany and ditched in the North Sea. Luckily he and all crewmembers survived. 86-0346 also has the 95th's tail marking, a "Square B" displayed on the forward section of the dorsal.
