After a week of intense scrutinizing by the boys at Bletchly Park, I am proud
to announce that Shelton's code has been broken. The trailers in the cartoon at
Williams, CA are as follows:
7V-------------Ray
NK------------Gary
2 certifiable--- 2C otherwise known as Sergio (all 3 diamonds in one flight)
Sombrero---- Juan Bravo (1B)
Ace of Spades ---JJ
Big Hat--------------PK

Now some may not understand the Big Hat, so a brief explanation is in order. We
have a Squadron Commander at Williams (don't all gliderports have a CO?) Nobody
is sure if ours was appointed by higher authority or just self appointed, but
anyway, PK is our Squadron Commander.. Last spring, our CO made a call for all
available aircraft to mount a deep penetration strike on Hollister Gliderport
to capture the *Capture Trophy*. I'm sure your familiar with the capture
trophy, a sailplane must fly-in, land and claim the trophy. The trophy is then
the proud possession of the new gliderport, until it is once again captured by
the marauding hordes of barbarians from down south.

After several aborted attempts to capture the trophy, a pilot from Avenal (call
sign, Mother Hubbard) Posted the following on the Williams net:

I hear a lot of talk about the Williams Mongols, coming down and capturing our
trophy. Hide the women and children! Hide the sheep too! Haven't seen anything
yet, Think you guys are just a bunch of drugstore cowboys, ALL HAT------NO
CATTLE. Our CO has proudly worn his Big Black Hat, ever sense.
