Way back when i first gave this game a whirl it seemed everytime i would return to my base in a bomber i would be smokeing from at least 1 usually 2 or more engines, So after a break i came back and figured the name fit me well. Im still returning to base trailing smoke.:rolleyes:

Before I started AH I tried to set up an online account with MS CFS2.  I started out with basic airplane/WW2 names, but kept getting the message that the name was already in use.

Eventually, I tried a name based on a different pastime- Mountainman.  

I've always been a frontier history, archaeology, primitive living buff.  I tan deer hides with their brains, build and shoot flintlock rifles and muskets, camp in a tipi, participate in fur trade "re-enactments" called rendezvous, knap stone arrowheads from chert, flint, and obsidian, throw knives and tomahawks, etc...

When I came to AH, I just figured I'd use the same name, but it wouldn't fit so I shortened it.

Had a great uncle in WWII (p38 pilot) get shot down and his callsign was "Trigger" along with his nickname, so I took that and made Trigger2

Later adapted to TAsTrig TA's refering to TA57x who taught me to fly, shoot, and run :lol

Way back in a bygone era, before the Lighting, I was a dedicated FW190A-8 driver.  I had just finished reading one of BulletHead's write ups on energy fighting and was anxious to practice what I read.  

I noticed a 'dar bar near the Spitfire factory, figured it was a Death Star and climbed to meet it.  Turned out it was a Bzlander in a Bf109E, slightly above and heading right towards me.  

Now by this time in my flight sim career, I had only about 3-4 months experience from my short time in AWDOS on Genie and I had just re-discovered AW on AOL and started flying again.  Was going by the name MBong "Major Bong" (no, not a reference to the P-38 ace) during that time.

Anyway, back to the fight.  We fought for over 10 minutes until I managed to hit him with my cannons.  As he was floating down in his chute, I was starting to type a to him on open channel.  Up to that point, it was the best fight I ever had, a real white knuckle fight.  Felt pretty good too, I remember feeling that I had accomplished a milestone, I was no longer "fodder".

Then I saw his comments on open channel.

"You fly like *****"

I remember thinking it was really funny and laughed.  Logged off afterwards and then got the idea to change my CPID but obviously the Kesmoids wouldn't allow S**T or any other variation of the word, so I had to figure out a way to get past that and AKAK was born.  Threw in the handle Ack-Ack to "complete the disguise".

Back when I first found AH1 I was playing Warhammer 40K a bunch and ran a Necron army and the Flayed ones were one of my favorit units in it...


They are brutal warrriors, armed only with razor-sharp claws, that easily cut through the toughest skins and armours.

They are twisted and ghoulish terrors, as they advance before the force, much like Scouts. They are stooped with age but are disturbingly agile. To make their terror worse, they adorn themselves with the flesh of those they have killed. This enables them to spread fear throughout the enemy army as their own dead effectively advance on the front lines. Even in combat warriors are terrified of them, making it hard for them to react and hit the Flayed Ones, giving the Flayed Ones the chance to mow down all in front of them.
