The crew douses old geezer with the 1940s equivalent of Gatorade for scoring hits on three enemy fighters. This flight had a very successful bombing run and damaged five enemy fighters to boot, at a cost of only some inconsequential bullet holes, one of which is in the sleeve of Psicosis' flight suit.
