Your Aces High call sign? AirScrew
It's significance? Well I wanted Trigger but it was taken (nickname I've had forever it seems, has nothing to do with the horse, got it while I was in the Air Force.) Any way picked AirScrew because that is what we called the pilots we worked with, airscrews and wingnuts.

Grandfather was a tank mechanic in 3rd Army (Patton) He use to tell us stories (cleaned up of course) about some of the battles like Battle of the Bulge, said the mechanics hated Patton for trying to rush across Germany because he out ran the supplies and they had a hard time repairing tanks.
Other interesting things about yourself.
