EVIL EYE FLEEGLE

The 47th FS is unique in that it has maintained a tradition of naming aircraft after character's from Al Capp's "Li'l Abner" comics since WWII. Being unfamiliar with the comics, I looked up Eagle Eye Fleegle. Apparently he's some tiny little New York wiseguy-type who can shoot some sort of death-ray from his eyes. Apparently he calls this death-ray a 'whammy.' According to one write-up I found, 'a double whammy can make the stone head of Teddy Roosevelt on mount Rushmore weep."*

 

Pretty sure one burst of 30mm fire from the 'Hawg's GAU-8 cannon would have the same effect.
