Mechanic: "Flap switch checked OK. Pilot needs more P.T." - Flight report, TB-17G 42-102875 (Hobbs AAF)

So, they're wearing stripes.

They reenacted this in the movie Dark Blue if anyone remembers. Pretty funny. When I rode bikes with my friends when I was a kid I would always make them form up in a V and then someone pull out to do a "Missing Man" formation.
