extraction note b01/b03/b04 say Hogsbottom was the test pilot of the first triplocopter; b11 says he was a former test pilot at the Triplocopter Flight Training Academy (not necessarily the first version); al1 records him as the test pilot of the first Ratchet-Raptor instead. These are potentially compatible but may also be conflated or contradictory depending on whether the Ratchet-Raptor is a variant of the triplocopter.
