December 8, 200619 yr Does anyone know the story behind the Legend of Quijibo? Its a zap that shows up all over. He's been zapped all over the world. Story I heard was he was a Herk pilot at Yokota named after Bart's made-up Scrabble word on the Simpsons. Anyone care to expand on this?

December 8, 200619 yr Yes... LOL... I have not seen this zap, but I knew Quijibo. If you want more info PM me; it wouldn't be appropriate to talk about the dude on the public boards without him being around to defend himself, for lack of a better term. He's still Active Duty, AFAIK. I don't have any great stories or anything, just may be able to explain some generalities behind the legend. FWIW, I never heard the Bart Scrabble explanation, but that's a good of one as any. Cheers, Hydro EDIT: Clarification [ 08. December 2006, 09:48: Message edited by: Hydro130 ]
December 8, 200619 yr I flew my mission check with him at Kirtland. He is still AD, and from what I understand hates that name.
December 8, 200619 yr "Quijibo" is less harsh than the other twist on his name which is what I knew him better as. He should be happy with "Quijibo". Cheers, Hydro EDIT: M2, thanks! Yep, his other "name" isn't quite that nice. [ 08. December 2006, 10:39: Message edited by: Hydro130 ]
December 12, 200618 yr Well, he's got less hair now...and more mass around the lower chin area...but yeah, that's him.
March 9, 201114 yr The infamous zap.... Can somebody repost the zap? it's showing as a bad link on my browser.
March 9, 201114 yr That or a boomer named Mike Cahill... Prior Grand Forks Boom who retired a few years ago. Better than the tanker "Reed Brothers" stickers everywhere.
March 10, 201114 yr Prior Grand Forks Boom who retired a few years ago. Better than the tanker "Reed Brothers" stickers everywhere. I see those in the strangest places....as in...how'd they get into this field?
March 10, 201114 yr I see those in the strangest places....as in...how'd they get into this field? Both of them did staff jobs in USAFE (in fact one brother replaced the other brother in the same staff job).
January 16, 201411 yr There is a similar zap all over with 'The Yeti' on it.. any back story with that one? Great idea.
January 16, 201411 yr Holy shit! He was one of my IPs in UPT! He was one angry dude... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 16, 201411 yr by ziploc158
January 18, 201411 yr There is a similar zap all over with 'The Yeti' on it.. any back story with that one? Great idea. The ones all over PACAF? I met him at Iwakuni, good dude, very big dude, surprised he fit in the backseat of a Hornet.
April 10, 20205 yr “Quijibo on the loose” with a picture of a guy on the sticker. The origin of the word is from an episode of the Simpsons (“large,balding, North American ape....with a short temper.”). Would really like to know what the story is behind the sticker that showed up all over the world. Oh, and would REALLY like to see a photo of the sticker.
