''This page is for the G.I. Joe Air Force pilot. For the Decepticon briefly known as Banshee, see Nightshade.''

Motto: "Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory."

Character Note: Practical, analytical and methodical, Lori Henshaw is the stereotypical technical geek in many ways. After graduating high school, however, she made a point of joining the US Air Force as a third-generation pilot. She is quite insightful and observant, especially when it comes to objects of interest to her -- such natural talent made it easy for her to learn aerospace engineering on the G.I. Bill. She is also brave, loyal and dedicated to her job, as well as to her family, friends and comrades. Her codename, BANSHEE, came about from taking aircraft through maneuvers that brought screams to the air from the aerodynamic stresses she subjected the aircraft to -- never mind all the kinds of music she enjoys listening to. While highly intelligent and resourceful, Lori's relative newcomer status limits her full potential.

Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:
Lori Henshaw is a third-generation Air Force pilot. Shortly after earning her officer's commission as a second lieutenant, Lori was assigned as the pilot for the Lockheed-Martin F-37 Talon project -- a project that had recently been discovered by the Autobots during their search for a new jet mode for their injured comrade Phoenix. During testing, Lori was informed that she had been selected to join GI Joe -- which unfortunately meant that she wouldn't be flying the Talon project as much as before, given the nature of her new assignment. Still, however, Lori has managed to serve, if not exceptionally, at least with some distinction between her duties at the PIT and her work at Lockheed-Martin.

OOC Notes
Lori's callsign, Banshee, came about in part because of the volume she liked to listen to music while in flight... and in part because of the sounds made as a result of the near-unimaginable stresses she's been able to put several aircraft through during her time in the Air Force.
