Re: Alter Hase/Old Sea Dog!!

Brian, I seem to recall that it was used as a description for an experienced fighter pilot who who fly in a "jinking" manner changing directions frequently like an "old hare" avoiding a hunter. I.e., by jinking across a field, an alter hasse showed he survived by avoiding being shot, the jinking throwing off a hunter's aim.
