Mines quite simple. I got my name from my grandfather. "VansCrew" was his call sign.

Ive never seen the image of Cthulhu. that is just bad@@@.

I registered with the forums as oTRALFZo, when I flew with the screaming devils. My ID now is Tralfazz, aka.. Astro the jetson's dog. If anyones as old as I am you can remember the old episode when he found out he had previous owners and that was his name that he hated.

When I first got online it was through AOHell.  Even way back then you needed to have numbers with your name as everything was taken.  Since the P-38 is has always been my favorite plane, and I've always liked the looks of the YP-38, I thought of the Warren M. Bodie book "The Lockheed P-38 Lightning."  He mentioned that the factory workers at the Lockheed plant started calling the YP-38s, "Yippee38s."  It worked, and I stuck with it.

I believe his actual words were "Tralfazz? ...  Tralfazz? ... YUCK!" :D

My wife and her whole family are big time holy roller pentecostals and always bug the hell out of me to go to church.    I tried it a few times but just can't get into it.      I chose Heretic just to pizz off my wife and mother in law.

Tried to keep with the Trigger line... but that...didn't work :D

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.

Now it's CAPOR042...

Civil Air Patrol OR. Squadron 042...
