Angus, - It's Scottish (which I am not but the colour could match), and it's a strong and gentle breed. Actually started using it even before, since I was doing business with the UK, breeding Angus cattle, and my real name is a tonguebreaker to the English language.
Aye, lads and lasses!!!
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I have tried to find handles that signify something connected to WWII aviation. I was Clover, a squadron callsign, and Cement, another squadron callsign. I was UpSun for a very short time.

In WWII a brand new replacement pilot was a "Sprog"

A pilot who'd survived several missions was a "Sport"

And someone who'd survived many missions was an "OldSport"

The main man was a "Wheel" (It will be a while till I get there)

The squadron patch for my avatar comes from VMF-112 that I believe was third ranked VMF of WWII, and later eventually became VMFA-112, which I served with in the 70's.

Hey Angus, my dad had a small herd of Black Angus when I was a kid. We'd climb up on the fence and they'd come over and lick the soles of our shoes, lol.

I chose Mustang (now Stang for short) because of the pilot in a Pepsi commercial on the VHS of Top Gun that was on it before the movie began.  That guy was twice the pilot Maverick was.  L337.  

Flown with this name in everything since F119 Steal Fighter 20+ years ago.

Mine got stuck on me way back in High School. Back then I drove around in an old POS brown Toyota SR-5 pickup. A buddy of mine got his car stuck in some mud one night and I offered to try and pull him out. Several of my other friends were there and everyone told me there was no way my little 2WD truck was going to pull a Chevy Nova out of the mud. Long story short I got his car out on the first try.

Well they nicknamed my truck the Brown Hornet from the old Fat Albert cartoon. Not long after that I got involved with the local CB radio club and used Hornet as my CB handle since I was still driving the "Brown Hornet" at the time.

After I joined the Army National Guard I got a tattoo of a Hornet on my left shoulder. Named my HEMTT M-985 truck over in Desert Storm the "Brown Hornet II" seeing as how it was painted desert tan.

Since then I've always had that nickname / handle. The 33 is how old I was when I started playing AHII, hence Hornet33 here in the game.
