True, although Minna's calmed down about that some since the old days. I mean, Yoshika's allowed to bring the ground crew cookies and stuff now; the crewmen and the witches don't actually have to pretend they're not in the same room any more. :)

(I actually have a character concept all worked out for Yoshika's crew chief, who only appears in the ending credits sequences of the TV show and has no official name, but have never had an opportunity to put him on screen yet. And Erica's, too, come to think of it; he's original, based on Erich Hartmann's real-life crew chief Heinz Mertens.)

>Amusingly enough, when fans do ship Shirley, it's usually with Trude.

Yes, I've noticed that (mainly a consequence of the Me 262 episode, one expects). Some of the artwork to that effect is amusing, and out of that context, a few pieces might even have happened. :)

I don't think Shirley is particularly into it when, as occasionally happens, other witches paw at her a bit? But she appreciates the implicit compliment. :)
