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. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

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.

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.

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. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

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.

Being the creative person that I am, I just combined my last name with a number. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) 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.

Mine is short for easymoney. A nick I picked up playing pool for a liveing in my mispent youth.
I have often wished they would set up a CC account so that we could gamble. Ive seen a lot of "fun players", in pool.Wo were very good,fall apart when you set a hundred doller bill on the table. People have said they would like for a death to matter more. This might do it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

Heh Easymo, we'll have to play some 8/9 ball at AH con.

Mine was originally HaHa, that I used when I first got onto CK (aka WB now). I was so excited and happy to be playing the game I gave myself the happiest nick I could think of (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Sometime later people mentioned that there was a LordHaHa in germany during WWII who broadcasted to the allies (music/propoganda etc..). So I changed my name to stay in the wwII theme (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

It came to me in a blinding light, flashes of lighting and thunder as the name was hewn out of solid granite as eagles soared high in the crimson sky and lions roared...actually some bloke in work reckoned I drove like a bit of a nutter so the name stuck and I've used it online ever since (was rev1 in WB then later revvin)..boring really but that first bit was as interesting as I could make it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Lol I'm knocking on wood already Easy. You worked the road huh? Did nothing but play pool and paintball for $$ for about 5 years myself. My wife will kill me as well if I gamble on pool again.
I'm still playing amature pool in the BCA/VNEA legues, and usually the team gets a trip to Vegas out of it, but that is now the extent of my pool playing.
As far as my nick, my first name is Garra, and most people had trouble saying/remembering it, so all my paintball buddies just called me "Gman". Nobody even remembers my name I don't think.

Earned myself the Nickname of "Saint" in my old F4 Squad , when I cae her in the Beta there was already a "Saint", so since I was posting on the BB from the office (Shhhhhhhhhhhht!) I went for "Saint At Work AKA Saintaw"....

Faat was my old WB name until 2.1, then went with Shaker, but stopped playing shortly after.
Lost my password for my old name(Warnin) in DOA beta. I needed to come up with a nutter, so because I flew the F1 camel, Camel it became.
-
My callsign was Lister after the character in the TV series Red Dwarf who is a complete slob with few redeeming features (It was a sort of rebellion against callsigns like Cobra, Viper etc). However, since I got the callsign Red Dwarf went downhill seriously and I wasn't much of a fan of the show any more - a pity, since every @#*&ing 13 year old who loved the show was searching for 'lister' on ICQ and messaging me 'Do u like Red Dwarf?' - About 20 people a week at one point, and I'm not joking! Also about this time I started playing Counter-Strike in the UK and found several Listers, which got a little annoying..
Anyway, since my heart wasn't in that callsign much anymore I needed a switch - I'd just decided to sign up for a pay account with HTC since I heard the Typhoon was coming out soon. I wanted an original name, and since I've admired cheetahs (Which, the fastest land animals, are pretty much like the Tiffie in that respect) I picked what had to be the most unlikely name to be found anywhere else on the internet - the Swahili name for cheetah, Duma.
Now I don't have 13 year olds asking me if I like Red Dwarf - I have people asking me why I named myself after the Russian parliament. Someone gimme a gun (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Oh, in case there are any other Counter-Strikers, due to my incompetence at that game I don't go by Duma (That's only for showing my incompetence in sims), I go by the name Mr.Snipey. You can spot me in Barrysworld or GamesInferno servers, somewhere down the lower end of the score board and constantly making jokes that no-one laughs at. Pretty much like AH (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I used to be Salto in WB, because I flew and owned an aerobatic Salto glider for a number of years.
When I changed accounts in WB, I picked BD because those were the contest letters of my new glider at the time, an LS-4. Just carried BD over into AH.
Unfortunately, AH has become my only flying (and occasionaly gliding) since I let my BFR lapse last fall. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Well, when I was signing up for AH I couldn't use any of the 15 or so nicknames I tried. I kept getting the "that nickname is in use" message.
Then my wife came into the room with our crying and fidgeting 2 month old daughter and said, " here, go see your pa."
So that name stuck. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Probably started with my grandfather, who was called Spoony by his B-24 flight crew in the war. Stuck with him, stuck to my Dad growing up, and stuck with me until college, until I gradually started changing it to Spoons.
My last name is not really pronounced "spoon-hour," but but throughout my life, maybe 3 people have gotten it right ("spon-hour") (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
So Spoons it is.

Many years ago I was born and parents gave me the name Fariz, what is "Knite" in arabic (still do not know why I fly for bishops? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I used callsign Wizard for almost 8 years in games and communications thru net, but after some consideration I decided that sometime I am not as good as want to be, and also my name is GREAT! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) So I decided to stay with it.

I started out playing CK/WB as "suck" because... well, I wasn't too good to begin with. It was also fun to be able to answer people who said "you suck" or "I suck" with "no, I'm suck!" Yea, kinda stupid really. Anyhow...
A month or two later, I got my assignment out of pilot training to go fly the F-15E, so I changed my ident to eagl (with an L (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) ) I dueled only once for my ident, against someone who was using eag1 (with a one) and he was gracious enough to give up his ident after the duel series.

I'm one of those guys who started flying in Fighter Ace under my brothers account (Master of Sparks...now Shortened to Sparky) and I learned to love online Combat Flight Sims from that.
Having flown in FA for a couple of months, I was approached and asked to become a member of the Devildogs Squadron, so I started looking for names that had to do with aerial phenomena, such as Tornado, Tempest, Storm, etc.
Most of those names were already taken when I suddenly remembered `sundogs fire on the horizon' as a lyric from a Rush song. Knowing what sundogs were and joining the Devildogs, I thought the name was kinda of cool, so that's what I used.

Great thread Daddog! Much beter'n Etiquitte in the Training Arena
the 78 is the year of my birth. I got it when i was signing up for a yahoo mail account. Since i have two of the most common names on the planet (Aaron Smith) the sever suggested i attach my birth year.
the con is carried over from another bbs. there i am 78convert. short for 1978 convertible (my dodge ramcharger). The ah handle was limited to 78con which I serendipidously (sp?) enjoy very much.
being a con is more fun than the actual running i mostly do !!

on the irc channel #fscombat, i started using the name "lkjjj" simply because it was exceptionally easy to type (look at the keyboard). when i eventually started using that name in WB, i rationalized that it was very easy to type so i would get better six calls. probably no truth to that (since tyoping it doesn't come as natural to the left hand). but in any event, the squad mates eventually got tired of having someone with an unpronouncable name. a few tried to dub me "luckjug", so that they had a pronouncable nickname that bore some resembelance to the WBid. luckjug was not acceptable to me, but we compromised on "lucky" (also good since by that time i was doubling the K/D of anyone else in the squad). i eventually sttled on luckie as a varient spelling since that was available as a WBid ("lucky-" was taken).
that is all....

Started out as TLT11 in AW went to TLT19 quit the squad I was in (they flew relaxed realism and still do to this day) Went back to TLT11 and then to Snupe (because snoopy was taken and so was snupy my dogs name and yes he is a beagle) from there I became INDN because thats all that fits in AWIII I was also snupe in WB the first time I tried it. Then INDN in WB and indian in Aces high should of staid with the short version.
How I came up with indian(INDN) is I am 1/4 Cherokee 1/2 american mutt and 1/4 british ( family tree goes all the way back to 1520's)
Didnt want to use chief so picked indian.

My earlier nick (and still my irc nick) was Marvin, from Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy - a very depressed superintelligent android with an arrogance that is unrivalled.
Later, due to my first name being Claus and my words and conduct in one newsgroup were so admirable, noteworthy, saintlike and generally superior to all that has been experienced, I was inofficially nicked "Santa" with an additional "of EAC" so show my evil affiliation.
Dunno, I sort of like being a fat drunken bastard that gts to dress in red without being made fun of and sneak down people's chimneys to check their computers for porn. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

Great thread and I'm glad you started this.
Mine is obvious. I'm an old Airborne Ranger. I've been called Ranger Bob since I got out of Ranger School. The name attached is usually the best one that fits being either your first or last name such as my ranger buddy called Ranger Finn.

Although this is a thread we've seen many times before, I always enjoy reading about how some of you guys got your handles.
I have been involved with Warbirds since v1.1 and originally flew then with the call sign of -dach-, which is rough German translation for a badger, my present nickname. I picked it because my wife and I own a pair of Dachshunds (badger dogs) and because when I trained with the Canadian Airborne Regiment as a paratrooper back in the 60's, "badger" was my Ranger section's (long range patrolling) call sign.
Regards,
Badger

I use a nick that was given to me by one of my fellow students when I started at the university some years ago.
During his high-school time this guy had classes with a guy named Stefan (just like me). Unfortunately for this Stefan the school by some freak accident had mistyped his name when entering him in the registry and given him the name Snefens instead. As I was told this name was still printed on his papers when he graduated.
So basically when I met this guy's friend and he heard my name was Stefan he started calling me Snefens too. After a while all the students started calling me Snefens too and as I thought it was a kinda cool name I used it when I started flying online. Or just Snef for short.

Well, I have had this nick since high school. Someone referred to me as being skuzzy one day and the nick stuck throughout college.
It got somewhat retired after college, but then in 79 I help to create and market a product for Adaptec called the AHA-1540, which became the most successful SCSI host adapter around.
During that time I got to be known as Mr. SCSI.
Well, the pronunciation for SCSI is Skuzzy (although originally it was called Sexy, but out of fear of those anti-sexist women, the pronounciation was changed to "skuzzy").
After that, the nick just stuck. Who am I to argue with destiny? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

GhostHawk on kali a LONG time ago, was flying A-10 Cuba guns only. Warbirds would only let me have 6 letters so ghosth it became & stuck. it's rotated to ghostt a time or two.
(Fight Opps, free weekends, etc.)
But mostly it's just Ghosth, now I'm here, now I'm not, oops, check your 6!

Wmutt is short for Wondermutt, a feral dog I rescued from the parking lot of the dog pound about 5 years ago. He got his name by getting hit by a car 3 days after I got him, and the Vet needed a name to attach the $700 bill for a metal plate in his left hip to. I remember thinking "I wonder how much this mutt will cost." I was at a pretty low point in my life at that time, and we became the best of friends, helping each other through some pretty tough times. So ever since the AOL Air Warrior days I have been 'wmutt'.
He probably wouldn't be as flattered by the tribute as he should though, because most of the time I'm flying he feels would be better spent out chaseing squirrls and rabbits (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I guess I came by my callsign honest. When I worked in the sawmill's of eastern Tenn. no one went by given names. Everyone had a nick like Motor or Scratch or something. It was said that Motor could lift a 4cyl. and carry
it under one arm...he was a big boy :^) and you dont want to know what Scratch's problem was :^) So they studied for weeks for a nick for me.I finnally gave them the excuse one day cleaning up after work. I took a 2x4 and used it to cleaned out from under one of the saw's. they said it looked like I was bull dozing...:^) So Dozer was born on that fatefull day. I thought it fit well cause I love the down an dirty fights on the deck.
Since then my WB squad mate's would shorten it with doze or dozz, so DoZZ it is ... ;^)

Well, mines pretty easy to. I was a tanker on M1A1s stationed in Vilseck, Germany for 3 yrs. (just got out in Aug 99) It amazes me hoe many ex-tankers are here in AH. Guess we like flying a plane rather than slogging around in the mud!
Just ask anyone who has trained at Grafenwhoehr or Hohenfels. (and i know you guys are out there!)

Was Grim Reaper in AW3, Callsing was Riper, can only get 5 letters in the box so missed the other P in the name. Couldnt get Ripper in this game was already takin and tried many others, Spent forever to find a name. So The White Sox wone the World Sieres Last year and found that A short callsign was qwicker to typ for 6 calls so took the name Sox. The bad thing is that people dont get the Baseball out of it. Thay end up geting The Presidents cat. But o well. Sad to say would love to change it now.

My handle comes from being the stupidist sounding Kitchen Utensil. I had envisioned a mighty plethora of Kitchen Utensils gracing the AH virtual skies going by the name:
1st Airborne Kitchen Utensil Assault Group.
It would seem that others dont seem to want to have a silly handle so i disbanded the sqaud after a few months. We had:
- Spatula
- Grater
- Ladle
- Corkscru
I had an offer for a ginsu2000.
But i was the only one who actaully signed up when we went pay, so i joined some new-found friends in the 357th Pony Express and kept my handle cause it sounds silly (and it was well known)

First, back in AW on Compuserve, I was IRA,For no reason,then Got into WB about 0.95 version,My R/l nick is Bear,but that being taken, was casting around for something and hit on the 7up spotad, so I became SPOT, bad idea, seems there had already been a SPOT who had been a jerk, so after the 5th or 6th time of being a victem of a "dweebhunt" out of mistaken identity, I was ready for a new handle, but what? well I liked tanks had been a tanker, (yeah treadhead I remember Graf '80-'88) and I liked WWII german equipment so I settled on my favorite the Panther, now pant it would have been in the old WB handle, umm no, uncool, hmm PanZerkampfwagen 5(V) ausf G?

I sucked so bad when I first started flying I decided I should have a scary sounding name so that people (Hopefully) would think twice about attacking me so I chose Mighty1.

Hey rip, I want one of them cowboy hats.
And a gun to go with it, the bigger the better.
And leather pants stuff, dunno what you call them.
Boots would be cool too, just to complete the image.

But, the chicks will dig it. Or maybe not. Anyway, *I* would consider myself Extremly Cool And Very Tough, and that's a good thing.
Or maybe one of them cool Aussie hats, I like those.
Or a German helmet, but people would label me a Nazi, even though it is red and wears the insignia "Rudolph is dead, I got hungry".
Even considered a red drysuit for my diving, but black and yellow was cheaper (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

My former handle was JENG which is just a sort abreviations of my family name Engelen.
When I started playing AH in beta I wanted something that was easy to type (I need 6 calls alot (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)) and had some special meaning to me.
I called myself bee cause my girlfriends name is maya (Germans should now the cartoon with a bee called maya)and cause it's easy to type. BTW I like the little black/yellow striped bastards (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

First, if you get down this far I suggest you change your nick to "Getalife"
Now, since you asked,
Beeger is short for Beegerite which is the name of my 30' Southwind motorhome aka "Pretty Boy Beeger". I knew that if I used the nick "PrettyBoy" I would be attacked mercilessly and also since Beegerite didn't fit I used the proper Beeger. Going on with the saga, Beegerite is what my wife and I call ourselves when motorhoming because we're Beegies which was taken from the pet name we gave each other in 5th grade O.B. (as opposed to B.O.) which was an abbreviation for Oney Bucket which was our code word for Honey Bucket. This may seem confusing to all of you but it all comes together for me on National O.B. Day which is celebrated on April 17th and commemorates the day in '57 when I schlepped down to the local jeweler 3 times to buy her a friendship ring which would fit her. It must have been the right fit cause we've been married for 38 years and sweethearts for 43 To the casual observer of OB-dom it may not be apparent that this must be ingrained in my brain right alongside my own name and shirt size because should I forget any of these facts or the O.B. Creed; "I am an O.B. because I was meant to be, I want to be and you want me to be", I could be immediately de-obitized and that's worse than being killed by a thousand Bish.

History of beginning this nick was simply:
When I was younger, often rides on rollerblades and once I crashed with cyclist
I had only several of scratches, and cycle this man was shattered completely (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) and then familiar was started to call me bike killer (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

My first choice was BOOMER which was my callsign in Air Force pilot-training. My second choice was BOHICA : "bend-over, here it comes again" (the motto of many Eastern Airlines pilots). Alas, both of these names were already taken, so I settled for BORG which is short and has a bit of contemporary humor associated with it.

Repost from one of my myriad posts on this subject:
------------------------------------
Theres a long story behind this, and that makes it a valid call sign.
The first thing you need to remember is that there are three types of call signs:
Ones you give yourself
Ones given to you by your friends (hehehe)
Ones that you earn by nigh unto legendary acts.
The first are the kind that you see in the movies. Maverick, Iceman, etc. Cute, but really only says what the person wishes
were true about himself }:> (sounds of flame throwers cranking up in the background.)(duck, dodge, weave)
The second is for just being you. It usually is a play on words dealing with the pilots name or characteristics about him. ie
"Duke" for someone named Ellington, "Rabbit" for someone who likes carrots or has big ears, "Beans" for someone whom
you don't want to sit next to in a movie :-> etc.
The last is the "Best" in the eyes of the fighter pilots I know. It is given for a single spectacular incident.
Case in point: Squadron CO is doing a flyby in his F-14 across the beam of his carrier for the movie people on board. As he
starts to pass the ship, he kicks in the burners. Engine explodes and F-14 goes toward the horizen trailing flames and pieces of
airframe. After a little swim, the CO learned he had a new Callsign.
Comet.
Mines not that good, but I like it anyway.
It all starts at Texas A&M University back in the Fall of 84. On campus there was a group of students who formed a student
organization to play wargames. It was known by many names, Gamers, GRAMETS, and finally NOVA. For those of us
involved, it was a time we will never forget (though we often wish everyone else would forget parts of it :->
One night I'm gaming, minding my own business, sitting on the back of a chair, when out of nowhere the thing decided it
didn't like it. Pieces go everywhere and I end up bleeding on the floor. Now you have to understand, I only weighed about
130lbs at this point, and there was no real reason for it to go. But no problem, I stayed all night and quietly bled while playing
SFB and Squad Leader. Now the only thing of note here is that this was the first meeting that Tim "Chuckie" Gray (aka Noid
in ck) ever attended.
The next week, were doing something involving dice again, and someone knocks a handful off on the floor. Several of us get
down to collect them and, almost immediately, the table takes a severe dislike to my being under it. Once again the blood
starts to flow. Tim was also there. His second meeting.
The next week, (and no, I am not toejamting you) Tim shows up and makes some smart comment about whether or not I'm going
to bleed. I laugh it off (silly me). We game for a while and all begin to get hungry. Being a poor college student, I had just
enough money to pay for the burger and drink from the snak bar downstairs.
I, in a typically witless fasion, begin a headlong rush up the stairs to get back before they change the position of any of my
squad. On the final flight of stairs, I, of course, slipped.
Now literally, on the way down to the floor I had time to consider the following facts:
No matter what I do, this is going to hurt
I have no money left
I'm still very hungry
I'm also very thirsty and need the caffine
I'm going to lose either the hamburger or coke if I stop myself from falling
So, I thought as I went down:
Coke or Hamburger
Coke or Hamburger
Coke or Hamburger
FACE (SMACK)
Needless to say, Chuckie was highly amused when I got back to the room, bleeding again. Still have the scar over my right
eye from that one, BUT I saved my DINNER.
I was then awarded the nickname of Ouch, which has unfortunately stuck with me through my entire life.
Ask me sometime about:
How I tore my rotator cuff in my shoulder turning off a light switch
How I broke my toe on a blade of grass
How I broke my thumb falling UP a flight of stairs.
And the list goes on.

Well... a long time ago long before I startet flying Flightsims, I needed an alias because I was active in a lot of newsgroups on the usenet. I had my big green Amazone Parrot walking around on my keyboard (which could make my newsreader do strange things), so I took the name GreenBird after him. 1½ year ago when I startet flying EAW online, I just continued using the name.
When I signed up for AcesHigh I found out that GreenBird was one letter too long, and took the name GrinBird instead without thinking about it. Later I have found out that its maybe better than GreenBird and consider changing to GrinBird in EAW-community newsgroups and ICQ too.

I used to race stock-cars semi-pro here in atlantic Canada. I was on an IRC channel talking with other stock-car drivers and crew about setups for the chassy I was running. Of course Lefturn was already taken, so I substituted a "ph" for the "f", and "Lephturn" was born. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) It kind of stuck, and some of my buddies started calling me that in other things. When I logged on to Warbirds for the first time way back in 1.01 I already had the handle, and used the 4 letter version of "leph".

(http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) In fact, my biggest claim to fame is that I am 1/4 of the Best Missile Crew in the history of SAC.:cool My evil twin may show up as SNARK....another missile that was pretty much a failure.

Well I had started online with the alias of "Bad Bad" from the Jim Croce song "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" but my first name isn't Leroy. When I tried to log into WB as badbad it was already taken, so following the time honored tradition of taking one that others had called me tried dwntwn for "Downtown" which is commonly attached to people with the last name of Brown. So here I am "Downtown" Lincoln Brown.
How I got my real first name is a much more interesting story.

I grew up in New Jersey and surf-fished a lot for bluefish. Noticed that when pursuing prey they were overly aggressive and not terribly bright (I've seen them run themselves onto the beach and not be able to get back into the water). It seemed appropriate, somehow.
-
I was born and raised in Alaska. I have always been fascinated by the natives of Alaska, of which Eskimo's are the most well known. In WB, callsigns were limited to 6 letters, eskimo had a neat ring, and is easy to remember.
I also enjoy snacking on raw walrus.

When I first started frequenting various MUSHes (online roleplaying games, all text based) many years ago, I needed a name for my character. I'd just read Eddie Rickenbackers' book and really liked it, so I tried that, and it worked. It's stuck with me ever since, and I'm even thinking about adding it to my real name (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
Oh, and I recently heard from Ricks' grandson, and he said it's OK for me to use the name. No, really (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
Of course the handle is too long to fit in any sim, but I've been -ri-, rick, --ri-- and ricken in WB, and Ricken on AH.

Back in the 60's I was known as O.D. That nickname stuck with me 'till I went to Nam. We had a real dick for a CO when I first got there and was ordered to tell others to call me something different since my nickname reminded him of all the problems there were with drugs. So I changed it to Lars since it kinda resembles my RL name of Larry. I've used it or a varriation of it <pong only allowed 3 letters> for the past 40 or so years.
MrLars....someone beat me to Lars in AH :-/
-
Ok this is possibly the most painful nickname out there.
This goes all the way back to when Quake came out. The first time I played, I was trying to come up with a good name. Everyone else was MeGaKiLLa-DUdE or something else like that. I was sitting there contemplating in front of my computer, nude (don't ask) eating a giant Bratwurst loaded with hot sauerkraut. Took a bite, and a bunch of the sauerkraut fell out in my lap. I ended up with minor burns, a LOT of pain, and a nickname. Thought it sounded cool as Skraut, and that's what it has been since.
-
Got mine back in Wb 2.70 just after a friend introduced me to it. He had it set up for LAN play H2H so we went at it for an hour or so. He got bored and went online for a bit, and he let me fly. I decided to link up with a flight of B-17s on a bomb run. Not long after I found the bombers I found enemy planes. I dove right in on one, blasted him and pulled up. About that time I see in the radio buffer, and hear over my shoulder "Way to go Flakbait!"..I didn't get it.
About 5 minutes later I'm flying home on a near-empty tank. So I ask the BUFF driver what he meant. He says "When u went dwn after nme fitter ack was shootin. Almost hit you. Evry ack dwn there was firing at u. WTG Flakbait". Turns out my friend was thinking the same thing, so it stuck.
I go by Delta6 online due to the movie Full Metal Jacket. I was going along with a trucker and watching it in the sleeper. He hollers at me and asks if I want to play with his CB. I say sure. About that time you can barely make out "Delta6" in the movie just after the mortars blow as the tanks are advancing. So I get on the horn and say "Delta6 requesting radio check" I'll tell you, going on next to no sleep and loads of coffee sure plays tricks on your voice! I sounded a lot like Barry White. I kinda liked the name so I kept it.

I can't believe I hadn't seen this one yet :)
Cyrano... well, I like the character from Edmond Rostand "Cyrano de Bergerac" (equally able with his sword and with his wits) and I do some fencing (sabre), so there you have it.

Mine started out as something silly. I was signing up for AW and needed a callsign, so I came up with Futher-Mucker. Put a few tequila's in me, and this is how I talk. Needless to say, the name stuck with my drinking buddies. Soon it became "Muck" for short.
Now I find myself with my plane nose down in the muck more often than I like to admit, so it works for me.
Obviously, the MAW at the end is my squad, hence MUCKMAW

In WB 1.09 I had to change my id
from "kaka" to something. ( kaka btw is
cookie in swedish) because of creditcard
issues
The day before I saved a # of purple friends butt by hovering over own field
and diving down to save my chased friends. I saved them and as a consequence my new callsign became
save later -save- and now =save= in
warbirds. Unfortunately I havent been flying much here in AH, but save is my callsign here.

*sigh*
Where did you dig this one up?
ok, FDisk come from about 15 years back when me and 3 friends started using DOS and we thought we where cool and each picked a utility.
Roo455 in the arena
"Roo" came from Kanga and roo in winnie the pooh. My cousin's 4 year ols had a winnie the pooh game that we still play (she's 5 now) the 455 is my street address. I moved to toronto and that's why it changed from Roo2104

well..... let me see here.
being at that bar star and catting age, i loath the guys who attempt to swoon the ladies with their stories of granduer and the "yeah i pretty much rock and my whatever is soo big" attitude.
myself i use the "im a total tard idiot" approach. I cant count the number of times some girl has said "you seem pretty nice..." and i just blurt out: "wow you are a poor judge of character, im actually a total loser" works every time ;)
long and slightly ironic explanation aside, i was trying to think of a callsign after more than a dozen beer when i signed up. "loser111" it was.
I actually wanted to use my nick from a certain first person shooter game but "BigdaddyWeenuts" was too long. :D

Original AH squad formed by Swruchn and "thetick" was "civic minded 5 - 3", When I joined kept the "Tick" theme and went with:
Die Fledermaus- The avant-gard of super-heroeness, he's more of a passive crime-fighter, opting to point the direction of the villians to the City's fine police. Die Fledermaus is German for "The Bat", and he certainly lives up to his 'creature of the night' image. He's got a real boss utility belt, too!
Squad grew so we formed the "Flying Whirlpool of Suck" -- a spin on a phrase one of our senior leadership team used in a financial presentation: Always good to have a senior company representative say things like "whirlpool of suck" while talking about financial items. :D
-
Hey dfl8rms!
Let's see...I chose mine in 1995, after becoming a fanatical follower of the then-new FoxAnimation series "The Tick".
So, why did I chose to fly with that name?
Like I said, it was 1995, and I was on the "Confirmed Kill" open beta (ah...the times we had...but I digress). IIRC, the CK limit was four characters, so I chose "Tick". It's stuck ever since.
What...you expected more? It's a freakin callsign. It don't get more exciting than this!
:p
-
My call sign is AlgyFT (the FT is for the original Flying Tigers, the squad I'm in). I got the Algy part from the series of Biggles books by the British author, W.E. Johns. I have 76 of the books, and am just a few titles short of having the entire collection. I started collecting them when I lived over in England. Here is a very good web site dedicated to W.E. Johns and Biggles. Worth a look!

Kronos ....
I was card-- in warbirds cause it was my first online sim and i was typing my password in the gameID block.... pretty stupid.
So when I switched over to Aces High I wanted something a little better. Kronos is known for many things.
Q'onos - Klingon homeworld
Cronos - Greek mythological figure
Kronos(sp?) - The bear that keeps time in the cartoon "Johnny Bravo"
Well, I watch Star Trek, have been a fan of Greek mythology since I was a kid, and how else would I know that stupid bear???:rolleyes:
Although recently around work I've been known by the nickname "Tex". Seems on one of my last TDY's I got drunk in the enlisted club during country night and started singing "All my ex's live in Texas" at the top of my lungs. For about 45 minutes.
And I hate country music.

Well, I was originally Flos in Air Warrior when I first started playing there nearly 4 years ago. We were restricted to 5 characters and I first tried for Floss, but it was already taken. Floss was supposed to be short for the handle I had chosen of Florence; I didn't particularly want Flo as it reminded me of the buxom cartoon wife of Andy Capp, with her arms folded and holding a rolling-pin! Not the sort of image I wanted! :) I tried Flos and that was accepted.
I had chosen Florence as a handle because I wanted something associated with my husband's handle of Zebedee (Zeb for short). Zebedee was a character from a 70's cult cartoon series here in the UK called "The Magic Roundabout" (http://www.zeb.clara.net/magic.htm) - a five-minute program which used to be aired immediately before the early evening news, guaranteeing a big audience.... so popular was it, that people would stop what they were doing to watch it. Zebedee bounced around on a large spring, being the lower half of his body, announcing to everyone that it was "time for bed". My husband chose this name, partly because of the way he kept "bouncing back" to Air Warrior (he used to be Rusty) and also because of the way he landed one of his favourite rides, the P38 - always bouncing several times down the runway.
I had been watching Zeb play for about 6 months before starting my own account, and Flos was born. In Aces High, I was Flos when I first tried the game, but of course it was unavailable when I returned nearly a year ago.... I could have asked for it back, but by then was often referring to myself as Flossy anyway, so decided to use Flossy instead and have been Flossy ever since. :)

I saw a comercial for the movie Van Wilder, and I thought I'd launch a preemptive campaign to say that my handle has NOTHING to do with either that movie or Trainspoters which aparantly also had a guy called sickboy in it. My handle comes from my favorite band; Social Distortion. They had a song called "Sick Boy." I wanted "Sickboy" for my liscense plate, but some other California Nesshead had beat me to it (perhaps had I lived in Nevada. Hmmmm...) Anyhow, All I could get was "Sikboy" so I took it. Thought I was 10 pounds of cool in a five pound sack when I was 19. Its a bit harder to explain to people 10 years later.

Ok, I'l try to keep this short.
BBS is MajTom (David Bowie) but I fly under AirScrew. When I first signed up I had wanted to use the nickname I had for long time from Mountain Home AFB, Trigger (long story about that one, lets just say it involves a M16 and a portajohn).
Then I tried MajTom but it was already taken, so I tried Maj Disaster but too long or else someone already had that too. Finally got MajWreak, thought that would be cool. After my two weeks were up I messed up the account and had to pick another name.
I was a dental tech for 20 years in the USAF. One of my many additional duties was Flight Dentistry NCO, I worked with the Flight Medicine guys to schedule pilots dental exams and work around the flying and training schedules. Anyway we always referred to the pilots as Wingnuts and Airscrews. Wingnuts was taken already and also Propnut and Propwash. So I settled on AirScrew.

RangrBob... is easy to figure out. I'm and old Army Ranger from the Vietnam days. Once and Army Ranger...you're a Ranger for life. I've been called Ranger Bob ever since those days. My call sign on all sims has been some form of RangerBob. My Ranger buddy is know as Ranger Finn. You either took the first name or the last name. Whatever fits.

Mine kinda developed from my name too,first name is Neil,surname starts with J and my friends called me neilj,then neilyj,then steelyj,then just plain steely,sort of an evolution thing i spose :)

BFD ...
I started playing Air Warrior at the end of the baseball season. We had gotten in the habit that year of saying, when our 3, 4 and 5 hitters were coming to the plate, "time to let the Big Dawg eat". So, I used the handle "Big Dawg" when I started, and shortened it to BFD for my CPID.
So, what's the "F" stand for? Hmm, the world may never know :).
Cya Up!

mi nick in WBs was wyrm, witch means winged serpent, but by the time i switched to AH wyrm was allready taken and i didn´t want to ad a number or anything to it, so since i only fly german planes i put sinonyms in a english to german translator, and dragon = drache, serpent = schlange, etc.. so my account with drache got screwed up and now i´m schlange.

OK - I'll bite.
For most of my AW career I went by =B17= , I took it when I was new and it was a just a lamer use of my favorite plane. But I really couldn't get out from under it becuse I had become a fairly well known player.
The AW Longbow scenario had a "real life" kinda newsgroup that would have become like our Bigweek NG except we already had that. During this scenario I was suffering from a rat infestation and going on a mad killing spree. This culminated in a couple of bloody battles and a post from me in that NG entitled "I HATE RODENTIA!!!!" that chronicled the two most vicious battles.
I signed it "Ratbo" - this was the first recorded use of the term.
Then 3rdUp called "RATS AWAY!" on the next frame when we dropped our eggs - on the open channel no less.
Then I used Ratbo on my AW "shades account" and finally used it on my name tag at the final AW Con in Seattle. When it came time to pick a name here, it seemed a no brainer as most of the old AW types knew who Ratbo was and the people I'd meet here wouldn't care that I kinda changed my name 'cause they didn't know me anyway - so the transformation was complete.
However my e-mail is still b17ofthebz@hotmail.com and prolly will be forever.
There you have it! (and that's the *short* version) :)

Back in 1996, I bought the boxed AW from a used SW store. I flew a lot against the drone fighters, but usually found myself at equal energy and running away from the drones.
When I signed up for AW in early 1997, I chose the name Runs From Drones (analagous to Dances With Wolves.) Since there was a five-character limit for the in-flight ID, I chose Runny.
In Feb 1997, when I joined the Skull Squadron, there wasn't enough room for Runs From Drones ^Skull^, so I just became Runny.
I'm a Shill instead of a Skull, but I am still Runny. Every once in a while I think of using my Quake/Half-Life name of Killbilly, but I pretty much stick with Runny.

There was a movie a few years back called "The Final Countdown." It was about a nuclear-powered carrier getting caught in a timewarp back to Dec. 6, 1941. At one point a pair of patroling F-14s go after a couple of Japanese fighters straffing a yacht. One of the fighter jocks says "splash one Zero" when he shoots down the first one.
Hence, Splash1.

ZX-10 By Kawasaki, then found a bunch of guys who liked to ride together and most of us had KAW ZX products so we were called ZX'ers. Some of the guys got the tattoo's we liked the name so much. There are only 4 of us left alive today. Only 1 of them died in a motorcycle accident. I crashed my bike with a brand new pair of leathers and never got a new one for some reason. I don't know why exactly but every sping I say the same thing "I want to ride again!"

Good Thread!
Started out as "centurion(1)", (my girlfriends nickname for me), in FA1.5. Used "animal1945" (couple of old girlfriends used to refer to me as such - and added birth year) for a bit in FA1.5 also.
Began AH as Elguapo in June or July, but this caused confusion when Elguapo1 came back on the scene. Not wanting to damage his credibility in AH, changed name to Bonden last fall.
I think only Osage and Pongo really know where this one came from.

A guy who worked for me would come into my office everyday and call me, Big Mac. It is derived from my last name. I have been using it since AW.
I can't tell how many people have asked if I work for McDonalds, btw, I don't. I have heard all the jokes, "I can't believe I got shot down by a hamburger," or if I get killed, I hear, " I would like some fries with that Big Mac."

Hi
I be came CAV.... as in U.S. Cavalry... when I first started playing AW on AOL back in 1996.

When I originally started playing warbirds, I thought of taking the nickname of the top finnish ace in ww2. Then after consideration though I thought it would be blasphemy and decided to switch to something else.
On the first login screen I had no idea I'd be stuck with the nick I choose forever so I just slapped mrsidley - which was cut to mrsidl and I flew with that name for several months.
People who later got bored being shot down repeatedly started calling me mrs idl.. :)
When I moved to AH I saw an advertisement for the movie 'the talented Mr Ripley' and I hoped the name would be an omen - no such luck though.

Durr is my last name. I tried getting some of the callsigns and nicknames that I have had in real life but they were all taken, such as:
Tex-- When I first left home I went to Illinois. Because I drove around in a 4x4, wore boots, a leather belt with buckle, and a hat (yes ripsnort I earned mine) all the Yankees up there called me Tex. I am actually from Louisiana, but to them anybody that wore a cowboy hat and boots was from Texas. Besides I figured that if I protested to much about being from Louisiana (a much superior state ;) ) they might start calling me Louise!
Farmer-- Later, when I returned to Louisiana and started college at Louisiana Tech University, I joined AFROTC. I was in the honor guard and everybody in the honor guard had a nickname. Mine was Farmer, because I had an incredible farmers tan on my arms, from several years of raking hay on a open topped tractor with my sleeves rolled up. The colors have evened out some now, but at the time it was like, major tan below the elbow and pasty white above.
Sleepy-- After I was commissioned 2lt in the USAF, I was sent to Navy Air Station Pensacola to flight school to become a strike navigator. Everybody in the military aviation community quickly acquires a starter callsign which may or may not stick, until they do something truly memorable which guarantees them a nickname for life. Initially, I was dubbed Sleepy because I fell asleep in a particularly long ground school class (I wasnt the only one, lots of nicknames were given that day for the same reason like Sandman etc.) That nickname didnt stick very long because it doesnt fit me very well. Im almost finished with flight school, (will get winged in August or Sept) and have managed to avoid getting a permanant callsign so far. If and when I get tagged with one for real, and its only one stupid mistake away, I will probably change my AH callsign.
-
Well my nickname back at college was thriller (we all know the song:D ) due to my name being similar to michael jackson.
When i first started playing RS i was known as thrilla killa (i wanted to sound like a double hard B$%$"&D....heheh). Overtime it shortened to just thrilla- and once more to just thrila as i'm now known today.

Mine is easy to 'splain...
I'm usually thinking of drinking, drinking or drunk while playing :p
Always a twelve pack of Bud Light next to my desk while I'm flying.

Played AW about 5 yrs. since back in 95. I started playing WWIIO back in June 2001. I had a cool CPID 'Sdwndr' short for sidewinder when I started in AW. I joined the Brewster Buffalos and they got tired of trying to type it in battle. I went out and changed it to bnm. There is nothing easier to type in battle "try it"! I've used BNM in every online game I've played since 95. Of course if anyone asks I just tell them it stands for Big Nasty Mutha. ;)

Had the opportunity to get in on the latter days of Alpha testing in AH. My call sign was Mark then, my middle name, the one I use most.
When the program went to open beta, myself and many others of the Alpha team added "AT" to the back of their call signs so people would know who to ask for information and help. Hence: MarkAT.
Decided to keep it :)

I SCUBA dive and have a fascination with sharks so I thought it would be cool to have a nick that involved them. The Mako shark is a cousing to the Great White and is dangerous (one of the few that will attack without provocation) and it is also called the "Blue Pointer" so I combined the two names and got "Blue Mako" (BLUEmako and soon to be BLUmako2 when I return to subscribing).
-
I forgot.
But I have two theories on how I got my callsign.
1) Kwea -Ssa: Pronounced 'kwee - sa', is two Chinese letters meaning "turtle" and a "snake".. referring to a traditional mythical creature named "Hyun-moo" I was fascinated with when I was young of age. The "Hyun-moo" is considered to be a defender of the northern direction, and was frequently drawn with other three sacred creatures of the directions known as the "four godly creatures" on the walls of ancient tombs. I remember seeing a picture of an archaeological discovery of the 'Hyun-moo' drawing when I was 14 years old - a turtle-like creature which had two long-necked heads, a snake and a turtle combined. So I decided I'd be known as 'Kweassa' in any sort of community where I needed either an ID or a knickname.
2) kweassa: Re-arranged, it spells "weak ass".
...
Judging by how the folks shake the stabs off of my tail lately with their god-forbidden 20mms, I say the second theory is more likely.
-
thought I did this already! :mad:
Dweebed around in AOL-Air Warrior with a mouse first...
First callsign : Maz (short nick from last name "Masarik")
Maz carried over to Aces High around tour 2 or 3...
Then: Executor (stole it from a buddy of mine who does not fly AH :))
THEN: Octavius (i really dont know why... perhaps I was reading something about the Roman Empire at the time)
then!!: oct... (because I was too lazy to e-mail Ronni and have it changed)
nothing spectacular :P
-
My call sign isn't anything spectacular. My real nick name is Vern (for various reasons) but that name is too common. Everyone always has it taken and I didn't want to add just random numbers to the end.
So I decided to try and think of a unique name that had a unique spelling. For some reason the thought of a crowbar entered my mind, so I came up with a unique spelling of KroBaar, I was sure that no one else would have that. It is supposed to be Kro'Baar w/ apostrophe, but most places don't accept apostrophes, so I've been going w/o.
I've been using this nickname for online forums for a couple of years now, though this is my first online flight sim. :)

I have a question, it starts on page 2 of this thread. Why are there some members that have a name on the left hand side but nothing else? Is it a server hiccup?

Kenai77, Kenai Alaska, Moved there in 1977 with my wife and oldest son (2 years old at the time). We bought our first house there, I was working on the Trans Alaska Pipeline week on/week off. Had 3 more kids and raised them all there, good memories and good times. Moved back to Texas in 1996 to help take care of my parents. It is pronounced Key-Nigh :aok

Thanks it was a fun day, winched several times. :aok
As to the tires, they are Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's, and are an asymmetric tread design. They are "best" when the larger lugs are mounted to the outside. But they do look directional and therefor a bit off.

I took my call sign from the way I fly... aka Lawndart and I dont care who I crash in front of.. I have fun here on AH..

It's a job description....Iron work "rebar" 60 feet long 1 inch diameter setting on highways and interstates. I personaly can move up to 100,000 lbs. of It per day.... A call signs should be two short words with hard consonants. a player may miss the first part and not the second with all the chatter.....It's RODBUSTER......not ROD....We have RODMANS, RODSTERS, BUSTERS.... Also a bunch of numbers is about useless.....You need something that a player can spit out fast....and not try to read off Your ICON....Rodbuster......OUT.

I wish I could say I got the call sign from Muzzy broadheads, but the truth is I was trying to come up with one (all my usual nicks having been taken), and I noticed one of my wife's rubber stamps (the kind you use to make greeting cards and scrapbook pages) had a mouse character named Muzzy on it. Muzzy rhymes with Fuzzy, which is what my co-workers used to call me when I sported a brush cut back in the day, so I went with it.

I got my call sign Rud3boi from this Island chick I use to date back in High School. She was from Argentina. She called me Rudeboy(in Game Rud3boi) because I was wild and had a very rude Ego in high school. I'm still a bit rude sometimes in real life. If you ever see me in person, your thoughts might be "don't even go F~ck with that guy" since my face is always serious and i'm 6 feet 1 inch and weigh about 190 pounds. Its not that I am pissed or anything its just the way my face is lol. I can be very easy to talk to. PS:i never heard to phrase "sharing is caring". :devil :devil :devil

Handle: 1ijac = one eye jack Nicknames: 1i (one-eye), Jac :lol Misinterpreted Nicknames: LiL Jac, Lilac, Lijac
I took this handle back around 20+ years ago in Air Warrior. A relative flew corsairs in the WWII pacific theater. His squadron art was a one-eyed pirate with a blade in his teeth. They used to call sailors on old English ships Jacks. I just put the name together.

Well my call sign was an easy one. I downloaded the game and played offline for about 2 or 3 weeks to see if i could shoot down all the planes flying in the circle. back then i had just a mouse and had no idea what a stick was or how to use it. after 3 weeks i of trying i knew when i started playing against you guys, I knew it had to be MAGIC if i shot down any of you guys. that was back in May 2014. now its February 2015. the first time i flew i of course run into 1 of the better pilots Doc4 who quickly made sure i lived up to my name. I have had my share of frustration in this game but I am not a quitter as you all will find out someday, when you will be the MAGIC kill.

First I was 88333, then I was Killer88, then I was SkyKing because I needed to fake being some 17 year old kid from Texas because some people in my squad didn't like me but the CO said I just had to re-prove myself, but until then I had to play spy. Then I went to STEALTH, simply because well uhh because she never noticed me, if you catch my drift. So yeah... that and I kept picking off players who were AFK on climb out.

I took over the game from my daughter's boy friend when he enlisted in the Army. He had it on our home computer because he was always at our house. So I ended up R-105 and I don't even know what it means but it has something to do with German metal music I was told. :headscratch:

R-105M
R-105, R-105D, R-105M
The most common of all the Russian radios to be found all over the world, is the R-105 family of backpack radios. The radio is rather primitive by anybody's standards, it is not easy to use, nor does it have any saving graces save one, "If you fire one up, it usually works". First introduced in the early 1950's, it was revamped in the 1960's to use more modern materials ( D models ), and again in the 1970's ( M models ). It has been referred to by many as a slightly updated copy of captured WW-II German sets and many of it's characteristics, and accessories will show this lineage.

My name has a rather dumb and boring story to it. I was trying to think of a good name to use. I looked around the room for inspiration. I saw a Rolling Rock bottle and the word "Latrobe". I said "That'll do". :)

I got the name guncrasher because back in the aw days I was a pretty good gunner by I would crash every plane I took off in.
my brother first joined aw before me and just like me he would always crash everything. he was also a pretty good gunner.
he picked the name semp in aw as in semper fi. he was in the marines, like me. when I came back to aces high the name semp was taken so I came up with the guncrasher in the bb and in the game. when semp became available I took it that was 5 or 6 years ago.

I picked my name from the movie 'the talented Mr Ripley' mostly because I wanted to consider myself talented, pretty arrogantly.
My future squad mates quickly translated the callsign to the finnish word 'ripuli' which means diarrhea.
-
Every now and then someone asks whether my nick is trying to tell I were somewhat weird. Their diagnosis may be correct but that's not the story behind my nick.
Way back before AH was launched in any form I needed a nickname for an Internet auction. I had long been a sales representative, a prosperous businessman as the bosses tried to convince us to be. IIRC there was some character limit as well as in many other places after that, including AH, so I just shortened it to what it has since been. Sorry, nothing bizarre here, move along.

On 02/24/1991 our unit B co. 1/159 Aviation 18th Airborne Corp. was in the southern part of Iraq. On that day we lost over 5 guys in a Helicopter crash. Our commander Major. Rosie was flying lead aircraft. Call sign Gard06. We reported small arms fire off the left hand side and in less then a 1/100 of a second later the CH-47 she was in command of was no longer there, I however was in the other CH-47 in formation watching this unfold with disbelief...
Rossi was born in Oradell, New Jersey on January 3, 1959, the third of four children born to Paul and Gertrude Rossi. Her father was a book bindery treasurer, and her mother was a secretary for a Wall Street firm.[2] In 1976, she graduated from River Dell Regional High School and began attending Dickinson College, where she also joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Rossi graduated in 1980, with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.[3]
Career:
“ What I'm doing is no greater or less than the man who is flying next to me or in back of me... ”
Rossi served as a CH-47 Chinook pilot with the 18th Aviation Brigade, commanding B Company, 2d Battalion, 159th Aviation Regiment, stationed at Hunter Army Airfield, Savannah, Georgia. Her company deployed to Saudi Arabia in support of Operation Desert Shield in 1990. Rossi was interviewed by CNN prior to the ground assault by Coalition forces. She said, "Sometimes, you have to disassociate how you feel personally about the prospect of going into war and, you know, possibly see the death that's going to be out there. But personally, as an aviator and a soldier, this is the moment that everybody trains for -- that I've trained for -- so I feel ready to meet a challenge."[5]
Rossi led a flight of her company's CH-47 Chinook helicopters 50 miles (80 km) into Iraq on February 24, 1991, ferrying fuel and ammunition during the very first hours of the ground assault by the Coalition Forces. Her company would be involved in supply missions throughout the war. Rossi was killed when her helicopter crashed into an unlit microwave tower in Northern Saudi Arabia on March 1, 1991, the day after the ceasefire agreement.[6] She was buried on March 11, 1991 with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery, Section 8, Grave 9872 (38.87170°N 77.06594°W)....
In Honor of those 6 friends and great commander. (I AM GARD06)
