That's half true.
In the old, old, old daze of half-time Air Warrior we needed some way to entertain ourselves during climb-out. I mean, we're talking long enough that one of my squadmates would often times drive down to the packy for cigarettes and let the plane climb on autopilot.
Anyway ... we used to tell jokes on channel 1 to pass the time (and to try to forget what our MasterCard bill would look like at month's end cuz this was steep hourly billing). For whatever strange reason, sheep jokes seemed to make an impression on folks.
Then sheep started to become part of the AW culture. I still remember the old Aggressors pic that someone did up. And then Grey Eagle started to put sheep in some of his artwork. And then sheep were actually in the game all of a sudden.
Go figure.
Here's the Aggie recruiting poster I mentioned before. I can't recall who did this, but it was worth saving. SLO - try not to get too excited by the image, you don't want your keyboard all crusty in the morning.
