despite all their lack of cunning and motor skills, they can never out wit the witty Mr. Swanky and usually end up choking on bus exhaust or being sucked up into the omnibus jet-Diesel intake.

charlie foxtrot, the cockamamie, shell-shocked, old wwii, bomber ace who pops up in the b17 turrets dishing out damage (no guns) to anybody foolish enough to try stopping the omnibus. He is also the cook, serving all the (ugh!) meals to the crew.
