Can you explain the reference "Copyright Zero Five!"?

IIRC, Copyright was the in-the-air call sign for HSL-31 and 05 was the
helo's side number.

Copyright is the squadron's collective call sign and 05 is the side number.
HSL-35 was Magus (*******ization of Magicians)
HSL-33 Sea Snake
HS-12 Speargun
VAQ-136 Ironclaw

These are a few of the ones I remember.

Soitenly. Just wish I could say I had some ~real~ connection, like Gordon
and some of you other folks who served so well. Seems - despite John
Kerry's beliefs to the contrary - that the US military has little use for
flat-footed, half-blind, clue-impaired nerds such as m'self. Maybe in my
next life...
