  I had to google what “387th Penny” meant. Apparently “penny” is short for “penetration flight”. So this was his 387th flight into a hurricane

      Not to diminish the skill and planning but the eye is the easier part to fly in.

    To be frank, I think its too fucking metal, what a ridiculously gnarly job, plus the honor of doing it again to honor someone who did the mostest gnarly job.

  You fools! It wants live sacrifices! You have only emboldened it.

  Jokes aside that is absolutely metal and a great way to honor him.
