Dr. Eddies Wingman

Crap, have I not told you why I chose to be known as Eddie's Wingman?
Well, I am quite interested in aviation history, especially military aviation history, and I wanted a nick that included something Maiden-related. Then I saw the cover picture of Aces High and thought - ahhum, Eddie, a Spitfire ... it's got to be Eddie's Wingman.
(For those of you who don't know what a wingman is; in military flight, it is common that planes fly in pairs, the most experienced pilot typically leading the pair. The wingman is the pilot of the other plane, and his main responsibility is to secure his leader from attacking aircraft. Most often, the leader will be flying in front. One much used formation is called the finger-four; put your right hand at the table, palm down. Then the four planes will be positioned relative to each other like your fingertips (excluding the thumb). The leader will be in the "middle finger" position, his wingman is to the left (index finger), the #3 is in the ring finger position and the #4 in the pinky position. #4 is also #3's wingman.)

Lesson no1...do not fire heatseekers while your wingman is in a knife fight 
Lesson no2. If your TEWS shows two letters saying Su, grab those handles below your seat fast.

Eclipse is cool

Shadow wanted something to look quite good in print, and I don't think that there's not much more to it than that, really.Shadow said:

I have no imagination whatsoever so just picked a Maiden song I liked that no-one else without imagination had already used. I really wish i could have been more inventive. I dont have any pets so I couldn't do an Albie and I'm not into aviation or religion or astro physics etc so couldnt draw any inspiration from there. I toyed briefly with the idea of calling myself Red Devil as I'm a Man Utd fan but as Man U are simultaneoulsy the mosy popular and hated club I thought it may attract unwanted flak.
