Pocaracas,
I used to be in a F-18 squadron whose call sign was "The Pukin' Dogs". Back in the mid forties before they were getting designated as a new squadron, they were "The Griffins" But, one of the pilot's wives said the image on the jets looked more like a dog throwing up. So, they switched names.
Over the years, the emblem changed. Eventually they changed it to what it is now. The funny part is, the kid that drew the most recent design, modeled it off The Thunder Cats emblem you use for your avatar. All the old fogies in The US Navy didn't know what the hell Thundercats were, and the emblem was approved, and is still on the jets today...It's not the exact one, but it was the inspiration!
It has nothing to do with what we're talking about, I've been meaning to share that with you. Thought you might get a kick out of it.
