Great name! One of my top 5 tomato variety names (others being GGWT, rebel alliance, Jaune Flamme, Brandywine.) Does anyone know the story behind it? Not discussed on tomatobase or elsewhere that I can find. Is this named after the airplane hijacker (and subject of my favorite Unsolved Mysteries episode as a child)? Is it a good tomato?

I is a good tomato if you can find it.

I know! I lost all of my seeds on a flight over Portland.

We need the "like" button for the above.

I got seeds from sampleseeds.com for this year's crop.
