Psycho's real name is Tsuyoshi Kawahito, and when it comes to gaming, he's pure ninja. In fact, though I make light of our meeting, he was really polite and overflowing with enthusiasm about the game. He also came through with an eight page letter detailing suggested changes to the data cards. Those changes that I could verify are listed below and will be fixed in the 2nd Edition print run of Air Superiority. Thank you, Psycho! --JDW
