Tried using Xcalibur when I first joined, and it was unavailable. So, I used an AOL email address abbreviation for Xcalibur Collectibles, LTD = XcalCo1

Joined the Hell Hounds (The Originals) and used XcalCo1 until the split of the squad.

Retooled the name into Xtrepid (Play on Intrepid... doh), and loved shooting down "Xcelsior" in his P38 with the "Old Osti"   :cheers:

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
At least tell us how to pronounce it correctly.  :devil

SKFGAlpo:  I've been Alpo since flying in AirWarriorII back in '96  (holy crap... 20 years  :joystick:).  Added the SKFG for the SkyKnights Fighter Group when we had multiple squadrons.

Upon joining AirWarrior and flying for a couple of days and having my arse handed to me repeatedly, it was apparent that my handle had to reflect my abilities.  Since I was being turned into dog meat regularly, it seemed appropriate.    :aok

(Couldn't find any of my P38 nose arts... however, I did stumble across an old scenario one where we kept our kill counts on the rudder)

I've got some of my old profiles were we kept score on the nose (flying allies of course). I miss those big old scenarios

Doesn't the glass chip your teeth?

It took 7 years, but somebody finally got it!!!  :banana:
