Patriotically flying the red white and blue
Fact of the Day: Col Eve Velkenevil takes off from #RAFLuton in her Chieftan light tank for a Pacify Aerial Reconnaissance Plane mission. Tanks often cover Fast Air Reaction Team scrambles (Sorry Sophie) outside of the normal RAF working hours.pic.twitter.com/CiN4sdgNDK

Eve Velkenevil. That's epic

Yeah. She got the promotion after her rival, Capt. Ed E. Kidd suffered a mishap on his scramble (sorry, Sophie) and overshot the target. He never recovered from his Shortcomings Halting Intended Triumph.

This is the origin of the word 'flank', as a flying tank would often be able to get around the back/side of the enemy without them realising.

It’s also flying the “rushing” flag, a universally understood signal that it’s going to be moving quickly.

More like a signal to the baddies :"we're friendly" while we're not. Sort or camouflage but different.
