Dying to know:  what exactly does the "999000" mean.  Everyone pretty much has a call sign that you can see means something.  Never understood "999000" though.

999 always fun to fly with or against, never any malice just kill or be killed.

I also have wondered for years what the story was behind his callsign.

Hey, look!  A Tail-End Charlie.  Might be a noob.  I'll go after him.

Well, Well, Look what my son jr999900 has been up to...  Thanks to all for the kind words, its an outstanding community.  Truth be told I'm like most of you guys who just love aircraft.

What people don't know is that I'm really bad at this game even to this day.   I tried to fly fighters early on with NO success. I could not hit water falling out of a boat, but still loved the game.  Found enough success then with PT boats gunning from the #3 perch to stay in the game. From there just by dumb luck or the VH hanger being down..... I found myself in a bomber, and took to the B17.....the rest is history...the guy still can't fly a fighter and play the game! Just glad the game has a place for everybody <S>

Love you guys!

before you attach b17s check the roster to make sure 999 is not online.

October of 2000 here. Although I may have played before I joined the forums. Maybe 1999?

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
