Homage to Frank Luke?

Rob Hart:
I read that the call signs of the F-22 pilots involved in the Chinese balloon shootdown were Frank 01 and Frank 02.

aircooled:
Air Force confirmed that the reference was intentional. First kill for the F-22 BTW.

rhallinger:
An AF fighter pilot friend has confirmed that the call signs are indeed a reference to Frank Luke, known for his balloon busting achievements.  Nice call, an interesting that this current story reaches back to WWI and pops up on our forum!

Best regards,

Bob

I wasn’t aware that Imperial Germany only used Drachens for Weather forecast  :o :)
