Where did you get your call sign?
« on: April 28, 2000, 02:38:00 PM »
It is slow at work today. Just so I have something to read today as the hours drag on...

First I was jwg--- in Warbirds. The switched to daddog when -budi-, (now docdog) and I formed the 332nd Flying Mongrels. I am a dad, and just had to put in the dog.  

What is the story from the rest of you?

Mine is in honor of my good friend (and good dog) Buhd, who I had to put to sleep a year or so ago.  Now he's with me whenever I fly.

buhdman, out

Mines from my first Aerobatic plane which I have such dear memories of  

7GCAA Citabria
 

haven't flown it in to long though, all I have flown lately is pitts s2c  

that and I think the AirbatiC spelled backwards is kinda cool

 Thats cool, Buhdman...

Mine is just my last name, Guenther

That Citabria looks just like my old 7AC Aeronca Champ, which I believe was the pre-cursor to the Citabria??? Very nice bird, Citabria, I liked the skylight cabin top. What a sweetheart plane.

I served in the Canadian Infantry(PPCLI) for seven years.
Pongo is (or was) the nickname that infanteers called themselves. It is the name of a small furry cartoon animal from the 40s(?) that dug holes for no good reason.

Anyone who's seen the film "This is Spinal Tap" will remember the scene where the heroes of the film meet an old "friend" in a hotel lobby. They chat with this fellow a bit, making nice small talk, but as soon as he leaves, they all call him a "banana".

At the time, I had no idea what a banana was, but it was still hilarious to me.

My British friends have since explained to me what a banana is, but I've decided to keep the name, anyways.

Mine is from my favorite Loonytoon character, Henry Hawk (about 6" high), who is obsessed with trying to eat Foghornleghorn (about 6' high.) That little guy has spunk! Of course, that was back when they had real cartoons on tv, can't believe some of the crap they throw at my kids nowadays.

My brother used to tease me and call me Skernsky.  For some strange reason I have grown to like it.

Mine is from my fellow cat who shared her life with me for 9 years but had to be put to sleep last year due to cancer. I had this name before online, and decided to stick with it.

I heard someone call someone "Hey Fatty!" once, and I said, gee, I'd like to be called fatty, so I called myself Fatty.

Being the creative person that I am, I just combined my last name with a number.    I don't know why I picked 25, I just did when I entered my user name.  (I think it was because the person who told me about AH had a 24 at the end of their name.)  I've thought about changing it, but hey, a different user name won't make me any better.

My Father's name was Minotaur.  My Father's Father was a Minotaur.  My Father's Father's Father was also named Minotaur.  The name of my Father's Father's Father's Father was Minotaur.  

This was true for any of them and as far back as their Father's Father's Father's Father could remember.

I am currently the last descendent of a long line of Minotaur's.
