->When I was young - er, younger - they called me Ripper; my old friends still do. I was a lot like [[AwesomeAussie Hunter]], [[MilitaryMaverick pushing everything to the limit]]. But I might have been a little too good, or at least lucky, at it. Replacement crews coming in, bright young second looies, took my lead... and got themselves shot to hell. When I started burying young pilots who had been killed for behaving like me, I decided to give them an example that would not get them blown out of space. It is sort of a vicious cycle: you try to act as an example, and young pilots start coming to you for advice. That is when they started calling me [[TeamDad Bossman]]. I do not regret all these changes... but there are times I miss the old days.
