morris

An American pilot briefly seen in the Eclipse comic series. Morris is a skilled ground attack pilot flying a T-6 Texan, a single-engined prop-driven aircraft used to train pilots during World War II, and it's the oldest warplane on the base. Despite strong urging to switch to a jet, he prefers the familiarity of the Texan. Ironically, this preference saves the base from a nuclear attack by anti-government forces. As the enemy missile approaches, the runways are suddenly covered by swarms of locusts, preventing the jet-powered planes from taking off. Morris's Texan is able to launch and clear the runway, allowing other planes to take off and intercept the missile. Unfortunately, the Texan is disabled by the swarm, and Morris is killed.
