Default All wings report in!

This is based on a scene from the "Star Wars: Family Guy Special".

This was where the call was put out "All wings report in!"
And a bunch of guys call out "Red-something, standing by!"

So, the idea here is, just for fun, report in with a call sign that has red in it. It doesn't have to be in order. For example, it doesn't have to be "Red-something". It can be "Something something red, standing by!"

Get it?

I'll start us off, then the rest of us can "report in".

So....


Red Planet, standing by!

I'm surprised that Red Baron hasn't signed in yet. He's such a good pilot, too... :-D
