- Growing a mustache (also known as a "bulletproof mustache") became a tradition among pilots during the Vietnam War, thanks to Brigadier General Robin Olds.
- Olds' handlebar mustache, grown in defiance of Air Force regulations, turned into a tradition among pilots and still stands today.
- According to a prevailing theory, growing a mustache during deployment can make one a better aviator and even bestow "god-like" powers.
- While many pilots shave their mustaches after deployment, the tradition remains.
