She does say that a lot, but technically, I think Stuka's battle cry is a bookend with Me 163's. 163's is "Here I goooooo!", and Stuka is never able to stop herself from announcing in the dive, "Here I coooooome!" ("Hier komme iiiiiich!")

This running gag sort of reached its logical conclusion in "Vice-Headmaster Göring's Long Thursday", when one of the many calamities Göring had to expend his ever-dwindling supply of cope on was the discovery, just slightly too late, that Professor Stumpff had put Stuka and Komet in the same homeroom for their senior year.

Often found in the company of her childhood friend Stirling Short, also known as "the Gardener", a great cheerful lummocking oaf of a girl from Northern Ireland. Stirling, like Hurry, laid a lot of the groundwork for her younger, much more famous colleague's success, but isn't bothered about it at all, because now that Lanc is on the cover of all the magazines, she can get on with doing what she really loves. Which is mining the harbors outside U-boat bases. Happy trails, ye bastards. (beaming grin)

(Stirling's elder sister Sunderland also likes beating up submarines, which is understandable, seeing as Sundy's half-boat herself.)
