8. Chief test pilot Paul Metz wore a lucky shirt for the test flight
There is luck in your lucky items. And that is exactly why the chief test pilot Paul Metz wore his lucky super chicken T-shirt underneath the flight gear during the initial test for the F-22.
The super chicken is a cartoon show aired along with same ilk of Rocky and Bullwinkle in the 1997 in ABC. Seems a superhero chicken spirit was needed to ride on this monster.
