== Military Career ==
== Callsign ==
Flynn used the callsign "Tesla" during his time in the Air Force, a nickname given to him after his plane was hit by lightning during his second ever flight in a jet. His plane sustained minimal damage and he managed to return to base. He would go on to hand-paint a lightning bolt on every plane he would fly from that point on as a symbol of luck.
