Starduster was a circus trapeze artist when he enlisted in the Airborne Rangers. He quickly found that his acrobatic skills and boundless energy would come in handy when swinging from a 150 foot rope. But now he did he famous routines suspended from a Huey Assault Copter - with the audience throwing more than just popcorn and peanuts. It was Duke, however, who recognized how well Starduster's death-defying act would work with a JUMP jet pack. The combination has been a crowd pleaser ever since.
We could be pinned down by artillery, rockets, and flanking small-arms fire - every inch of the sky lit by tracer, the lead so thick in the air even the mosquitoes would take cover - but Starduster would come out there in a flash to spot the bad guys. No questions. Straight up into the flack with his characteristic "show must go on" attitude, grinning like a Cheshire cat as he calls in enemy positions for our own artillery to hit. The guy never fails to keep the act interesting.
