Flying Finn Pilot	posted 01-04- 10:11 AM I´m still a newbie, but I´ve made a lot of good friends here in the community Now I´d like to get to know you guys better. I´d like to know what´s the story behind your nicknames and pilotnames. How did you come up with the particular one?...Is he a war hero of your own country? Maybe a modificaton of your own name? Tell me more...Well as you´ve noticed,my nick is very obvious...The fastest Finn in the skies of SDOE...I assume I´m the only one, so I´m pretty sure I´m the fastest... Happy landings...TFF [This message has been edited by Flying Finn (edited 01-04-2002).] IP: Logged

lil bastard Pilot	posted 01-04- 12:05 PM well mine comes from a Simpsons episode, when Bart pulls out a case which is the "li'l bastard kit" It was too funny and eventually it would be a nice nose art for a plane... Then there's another explanation that says the nick comes from the fact I'm a real bastard (and not that little...), bu that's another story... lil b IP: Logged
ArgonV JAG	posted 01-04- 12:18 PM Well when I registered for an AOL screen name, I wanted it to be Argon. Argon was the name I stole from a Commanche 3 pilot. Well when I registered, Argon was taken! So I tried all the way up to Argon5 and all those were taken aswell! Then I decided to go backwards from there in Roman numerals. And what do ya know, ArgonV wasnt! Its also just a really cool sounding element. IP: Logged
Snickers Pilot	posted 01-04- 12:29 PM When SDOE first came out, the guys I worked with (different company) were really into playing DescentII. When I suggested that we try a real flight sim (SDOE) they snickered. Hence the name Snickers.... IP: Logged
Pierre Radiateur Pilot	posted 01-04- 12:45 PM Lothar is damn near spot on for my original nickname ... which I hope to be able to recover one day ... well...when I first played the game, I kept forgetting that you had to hit F6 to activate the position. So...there I was in a Lanc... 190's closing on my tail ... switch to tailgunner ... and nothing! I reckoned the guy must have been dozing on the job ... so when I thought about an ID to sign on here ...that sprang to mind The Pierre Radiateur is a very silly pilot name I used when I used to play Ace of Aces ... It was that or Fritz Piztonslappa .... which I have used online in WW2 ..... ------------------ The Pilot formerly known as W.T.G. IP: Logged
Killer-Ants Pilot	posted 01-04- 02:28 PM Well, playing ancients sim´s like f-117, f-14 from micropose , my prefered mission was bombimg convoys of trucks, tanks or troopers (in the low polygon graphic they look like ants!) Gotcha! But wait, this must sound Ants-Killer! Yeah, but I´ve imagined how destructive this ants must be , so I decide swap the order of names to Killer-Ants in homenage to these poor low-poly-ghosts LOL But I think must have from 50ths with these title... cheers, K-A ------------ [This message has been edited by Killer-Ants (edited 01-04-2002).] IP: Logged
goth Pilot	posted 01-04- 03:04 PM Mine comes from wistful memories of my misspent youth, wearing all black and contemplating the eminent end of society while I listened to Souxie and the Banshees. I still wear lots of black, and have lots of skull motif decorations around me, but most “modern-goths” would scoff at me as an old wanna-be. By the way, I have not, nor would I, wear face makeup unless I was at a costume party. I think the “make-up Goths” are silly (although some of them are kinda sexy).

Nat JAG	posted 01-04- 06:06 PM My name comes from my self confidence, no, not arrogance, but the fact that I know my abilities aswell as my short commings, in that over the last 15 years or so, everything that I've turned my hand to be it hobby or work, I've become very very good at, from the Army, to Administration, landscape gardening, and most aspects of using PCs, so, when I opened a new AOL account I picked the German word Naturlich for my name (meaning Natural/Naturaly), which here is shorted to Nat which I answer to more redily than my own name. If you catch me on Unreal Tournement on the forums at Team59.com, or playing online with their servers (of which I'm now admin for one of them (Server#2 CHOAS mod)) then my name is V67th_Nat_>>Rogue<<, V67th for my squadron here (hoping to make it an UT clan one day.. Jeeves, I'm expecting you to join soon, you'll understand what I mean when you get my snail mail), Nat being my net name, and Rogue in that I don't have a clan. Anyway, a long explination for something so simple, I do tend to talk alot LOL Laters! ~Nat~ IP: Logged
Vahn Pilot	posted 01-04- 07:50 PM My name came from a game called Exile II. IP: Logged
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 01-04- 08:26 PM after reading all those interesting stories, here is my booring one: I started in the early 90s with the nickname Alesi, but i found it a little bit ridiculous when someone ring me up and my wife called, hey there is someone who want to talk to Alesi. But then i didn´t find a different name wich i could remember anytime but the name of my town. Since then my nickname is Rendsburger Rendsburger IP: Logged
$mokey Pilot	posted 01-04- 09:57 PM I think this is about the third time I've done this in this community. My second cousin was a real fighter pilot. He flew f4's I think. His nickname was Smokey. Since he retired from the airforce and says he never wants to see the inside of an airplane again I stole his nickname. [This message has been edited by $mokey (edited 01-04-2002).] IP: Logged
Tab Pilot	posted 01-04- 11:10 PM TAB was given to me by my co-workers at a now historical airline. The initials T A B may be freely associated with any derogatory term you may come up with, although usually I tell people it has something to do with a 1970's soft drink,or low budget adult movies. I was born and grew up in NYC and I now live in Louisville KY USA and work as a firefighter/paramedic. I'm glad to be a part of our online international community. ------------------ OK...but just ONE more... IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 01-04- 11:19 PM Razer was a name I picked up when the quake(1) demo (1995) was released when i was playing in a clan. It stuck and I've had it ever since. My prelude has it on the tag. IP: Logged
weasel Pilot	posted 01-04- 11:23 PM LOL, these are great! My nickname came from a time when I worked in a maximum security facility for the criminally insane. (That was some job!) One of my co-workers said I looked like one. The weasel off of Foghorn Leghorn comes to mind. Now I just program. Cheers... weasel IP: Logged
Raider Pilot	posted 01-05- 12:08 AM I have always been an adventurer, hiking up water falls, checking the view from tall cliffs etc. My favorite move is "Raiders of the lost Ark". I used to have a monster Jeep CJ-7 with a chevy 350 engine and 35" tires. I would play the soundtrack to "Raiders of the lost Ark" when off-roading (man that adds to the tension) and it would scare the heck out of my friends (me too sometimes) I live in Richmond, KY, USA. There must be a half a dozen guys from the Kentucky area that are members of this board. IP: Logged
Threedp Pilot	posted 01-05- 12:29 AM My wife and I have always toyed with the idea of starting a company which we have thought to call "Dave and Donna's Desktop Publishing", or "DDDP", or just "3dp". When I jumped into the web world it seemed like a good, short, and easily remembered callsign to go by. However, the recent problems with this board have seen me reincarnated as "Threedp", although I did consider "The Artist Formerly Known as 3dp", but thought that despite the humor in it, it was just too long!

Jeeves JAG	posted 01-05- 01:35 AM I'm a butler Nah...just for my wife- who's name is Janice Reeves-- so our first e-mail account was J Reeves...and I dropped the R and stuck with it IP: Logged
MadCow Pilot	posted 01-05- 02:35 AM My original nick was Karaya2 taken from the name of Erich Hartmann's Staffel. Karaya was also his radio call sign (some think it means 'sweetheart' but in his book the 'Blond Knight of Germany' Hartman is referred to as Karaya One and his wingman Karaya Two. When the FSIC went down last time it ate Karaya 2 and then one day soon after while flying online with Rends and Vman Viper I was experiencing multiple cdts and Rends in his wisdom dubbed me MadCow because I was getting so dammed mad and frustrated. Mooooooooooooooooooooooooo ------------------ IP: Logged
BULLET187 Cadet	posted 01-05- 03:07 AM Well, I picked up BULLET toward the end of my hardcore punker days when I was running around Hollywood in the late 80's. I think it evolved from a .50 cal shell I used to wear around my neck as a momento of my Navy days. My friends had names like Spider, Icky, Spaz, Stripe, and D-Day. They appearantly weren't comfortable with calling me Scott. Funny thing is that I'm 36 now and I can be out with my 4 yr. old daughter doing the daddy thing and I'll suddenly hear "YO..BULLET..WHATS UP!!" Luckily shes not afraid of guys with big pink mohawks and a pound of metal in their face. The 187 is a very sarcastic dig at all those hip-hop people. In L.A. it's the police code for homocide, and all the rappers are always going on about how they're gonna "1 8 7 yo mother f*****g ass". A guy I used to work with (a crazy hacker) said it would be a cool screen name. Since Bullet wasn't available I took it. Since I had to re-register I'm stuck with the full form. BULLET IP: Logged
Bin Ladin Cadet	posted 01-05- 04:22 AM I was just born an idiot... and that is how I got my name. IP: Logged
Vahn Pilot	posted 01-05- 04:46 AM Grrrr... IP: Logged
semmern Pilot	posted 01-05- 05:20 AM My friends started calling me Semmern, it's a short version of my last name, Semcesen . People at school also call me 'the Pilot'. Hmm, I wonder why . IP: Logged
Braddock Cadet	posted 01-05- 08:20 AM Moi,my name is from the Victor comic of the 60´s and 70´s in England.Braddock flew with his trusty co-pilot George Bourne mostly in Mosquito´s and Lancasters.I remember Flying Finns from the 70´s and 80´s who used to run charter flights between England and Finland as I used to fly with them regularly. Kiitos! IP: Logged
patsytwo Cadet	posted 01-05- 12:57 PM Marty Lynn - screen name "patsytwo" - in rememberance of my Uncle John (John J. Hood, Capt. USAAF) who flew P38's with the 475th FG, 431st FS, in New Guinea (1942, 1943). When he rotated back stateside in early '43, he came home an ACE with five victories (and two probables). His last combat mount, a P38F, was named Patsy II. IP: Logged
Blacksheep01 Pilot	posted 01-05- 01:05 PM Well I'm sure you guys know where my name comes from but here goes anyway. My favorite sqaud in the Pacific is the VMF 214 a.k.a Blacksheep sqaudron. Pappy Boyington is also one of my favorite WWII aces, so Blacksheep was the first name that came to mind when registering here. My original username was just Blacksheep but the board ate it so I picked Blacksheep01 which was Pappy Boyingtons callsign, there is also I book called Blacksheep One about Boyington I believe. ------------------ -Blacksheep IP: Logged
Sunray Pilot	posted 01-05- 06:47 PM It's the call sign of any officer commanding any unit in the CF. I did have a command but not anymore. Now, I get called all kinds of things. Some of which are polite. I really dislike getting called late for meals. IP: Logged
Dogfyter1 Cadet	posted 01-05- 07:39 PM My Nickname is obvious... It's what always happens when the other guy loses... IP: Logged
Blind Faith Pilot	posted 01-05- 08:09 PM I had never used a nickname and wanted to join in the fun of this place. I started to search for something that said something about me and flying SDOE. The law in my country says that with my eyesight I am blind, that tells you a lot about my flying . Then I tought of the brave guys that jumped in their planes and got into the fight... that took a lot of faith... blind faith in the engineers and mechanics that kept them on the edge. I sometimes wish I could be like them IP: Logged
Ground Pounder Pilot	posted 01-05- 10:19 PM 1. a slang name for an infantryman(only been one in Cdn Army for 30 years) 2. I like air to grd atk msns (typhoon mossie lanc whatever) 3. used to crash/ get shot down a lot , when i started the game IP: Logged

Desert Fox Pilot	posted 01-06- 02:06 AM I arrived to the community thanks to Commando. I knew many places of SDOE, among them simfiles; there I saw the sounds of the Stuka of Commando, but I had not still found that airplane, so I sent an e-mail to the, asking him where I could get it. He responded me and it presented me in the forum. Desert Fox, is because he admired that general, and my biggest passion was always the armored of the WWII; long hours I passed playing with "Panzer Commander" ------------------ III./JG3_Gustav Alle Messerschmitt bf109 FS_Gustav IP: Logged
