Flight of the Intruder Easter Egg - Lobster from a Noose

When the main character, played by Brian Johnson, is in combat getting chewed out by the Commander, there is a stuffed lobster hanging from a noose in the background of the commander.

I was juggling the lobster and my friend had the noose. We hung it from the overhead between takes and it made it in the movie. The director didn't see it until reviewing the days filming in the forward mess hall that night.

I was on the USS Independence as a Data Systems Tech while it was made.
