Major Matt Mason

Roger Ramjet - and his Proton Energy Pills ("PEP"), which give him "the strength of twenty atom bombs for a period of twenty seconds". What a great message for little kids.....if you really need to get something done, pop some pills. No wonder I turned out so well.

A few more from me are;
Joe and Brian Hackett(Wings)

Speaking of Mechanics we would have to include Lowell from Wings.

The Air America Gguys are great too. ALso like "Wierd Neil" in that movie, based on the real "Wierd Neil" that flew C-123's in Air America.
"That's it, the Golden BB" I knew it was coming."
