Plot Point must be a regular. I think they shared a state championship in 80 with Tidehaven, a little school out in a rice field about 10 miles from me.

"skernsk"  Nothing significant.  My brother used to tease me by calling me "Bernski" and then ikt became "skernski" around third grade.  Over the years it stuck and I have grown used to it.  I've even had my boss call me "skernsk"

Joined the FDB's and had a great time with them.  As I got more involved in AH as a CM I met more people and decided to switch squads to get to know more of the community.

I am currently flying with the 332nd Flying Mongrels and it is still culture shock to fly as a "knight" in the MA.  I spend more time in the CT to avoid having my chute shot by FDB's

What other flight sims have you been involved in? Your call sign and squad in that sim? Well like nearly everyone else AW was the beginning of the downhill online spiral but it started way back with Chuck Yeager for me and Falcon 3.0 for real. In AW I wasn't part of any formal group and flew as several names but the one I remember was sixx. In WB I flew off and on for years but never could stick with it long enough due to college slipping away. Then once I got into Fighter Ace 2.0 I joined up with a new squadron called LuftJagerKorps (LJK) and flew as LJK_Six and LJK_Reschke and was with a member of that group till we closed it down in August of 2002 after being in AH for a year or so. In AH I have flown as (some of these names I remember from various games so they might not be right) sixx, LJKResch, LJKSix and Reschke and was a member of LJK here as well but now am heading up VF-17.
Do you have any other connection to aviation or WWII? My mom's dad was a crew chief/gunner initially in WW2 on PV-1 Ventura bombers for the US Navy then got his wings and flew the PV-2 towards the end of the war in the South Pacific. My father's dad was in the US Army and took part in the invasion of the Phillipines and several other smaller amphibious assaults in the South Pacific.
Other interesting things about yourself. What else is there other than my beautiful wife who is very understanding about me and my "free time". If not for her I know I wouldn't be able to write this today.

[Dux]

hehe, INTP here.

[Reschke]

BTW I am an:

ENTP: "Each New Thought Propels"

"Ok. Ready? You like to chase the novel and complex. You have faith in your ability to overcome any challenges you face...highly independent...value adaptability and innovation...you encourage and value change...

You need freedom for action...you resist hierarchy and structure...you push against all odds to further your projects with your entrepreneurial tendencies...you can argue and find the flaws in any position...

How'm I doing so far? You rarely accept things just as they are...you like to test new meanings and relationships..when you don't get what you want, you use your cleverness and ingenuity to bring people around to your point of view...when you choose a career, you tend to set flexible goals that allow you to incorporate new information and accommodate to new circumstances...

"Keep your options open" is your middle name... you like to explore the "road not taken." Your flexibility can look like indecision to others who don't have a clue about you..you take advantage of opportunities...you realize potential of many things because of your ability to see connections and relationships between SEEMINGLY unrelated things...you cannot be ordered around, but rather handle things best when they are *suggestions*....like posting more on the Storm Palace BBS you love excitement...

Competence is key to you.. you don't take advice or respect someone you don't see as competent...you want work to be enjoyable..you're a relentless learner. Knowledge is important to you...you use your enthusiasm to get others involved in your learning...you learn through give-and-take discussions and by questioning and challenging others....you like challenging your teachers and colleagues...limitations are mere challenges to you...you take initiative, and once the ball is rolling, you like to turn it over to someone else...

You like to organize logically and strategically....your work space might not LOOK organized, but underneath it all is a system that works for you. You like to have an impact...you need a job that allows you to be innovative. you like to take risks and explore...an open calendar for the weekend is really appealing...you're often "in on the latest things..."...you like travel, 'cause it allows you to open up new vistas and horizons (corny, huh?).

Falling in love happens when there's a good "fit" with another person...you often know after the first meeting whether there's any "real potential"... you may not like to commit until that right person comes along...therefore you probably won't settle down early...you don't like to lose at ANYthing you undertake...you're a born enterpriser...

Things to be on guard for: you have a great fear of looking dumb or incomp- etent..you may tend to think you have the perfect solutions for problems, and may become competitive when others challenge you... you might start to think that you're the only one who's in on the truth of things, so you might not like to listen to the input of others...you may have the tendency to overextend yourself as you jump in on lots of ideas without considering how long it takes to work 'em through... commit to too many projects? ...you are a rebel.. you find it difficult to accept standard operating procedures.. and hate HAVING to follow exact rules or policies...learn to work within the system."
