What do you do for a living?
I am a first grade teacher in Colorado Springs at a high-risk school (Mark Twain Elemenary). I have 26 wonderful students that are learning to read, write, add, subtract, etc. Many of my students come from less than ideal surroundings, some have already experienced more grief and trama at age 6 than I have at 34.

Blissfully married for 4 years. My wife and I have a perfect 5 month old baby girl. Her name is Svea (pronounced Svay-Ah, long a - short u sounds). Being a dad is absolutly the coolest thing ever!

AH junkie...Dang...I used to have a bunch of hobbies, but I have forgotten all about them ever since I started flying on-line!
What other flight sims have you been involved in? Your call sign and squad in that sim?
Warbirds, I started in spring of 97... I think? eskimo of the Buccaneers.
Do you have any other connection to aviation or WWII? My father-in-law flew stateside in WWII. He trained gunners for the Army Air Corps. He has time in the; AT-6, P-39, P-63, RP-63, AT-11, B-25, and B-17. The RP-63 was a stripped, armor plated P-63 that was used as a manned flying target. His job was to mock attack B-17's and receive friendly-fire! The bullets were 30 cal. powdered lead/bakelite plastic, and would disintegrate on contact with the hardened aluminum armor plating on the RP-63.
I am involved with a pretty amazing living history group in Colorado Springs called "Fantasy Flight". The two leaders of this group own a C-45/AT-11 and two AT-6's. The members of Fantasy Flight maintain these old Warbirds and fly them to airshows throughout Colorado and other parts of the USA. Each of the 30+ members own at least one authentic WWII Army Air Force uniform that is worn to these airshows.
Other interesting things about yourself.

Camo. Short for Camouflage. When I started playing flight sims on my Commodore 64 in the mid 80's, I chose it as my callsign. Can't remember where it came, though.
Your Aces High squad?
LLv34 = Lentolaivue 34
When Finland received the first 109 G-2's during winter-spring 1943, an elite squadron was formed, consisting of the best pilots of the Finnish Air Force. The squad was named Hävittäjälentolaivue 34 (Fighter Squadron 34). The real abbreviation should be HLeLv34, but we chose LLv34 because it is shorter and easier for all of you foreigners (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Your Aces High call sign? It's significance?
"buhdman" I had a dog named Buhd (southern for Bud). He was a Speagle (cross between a Springer Spaniel and a Beagle). He was a mutt and in an accident he lost most of his tail (happens to me all the time), so he wound up looking like some exotic breed of dog. Even though he was a mutt, he was my buddy and he won first place in his obedience school. Buhd brought a lot of joy to my life. Unfortunately, we had to put him down young because of cancer, a couple of years ago. This was about the time I started flying WarBirds, so in his honor, I took the name -buhd-. Changed it to buhdman, because that's what some squad mates started calling me and in Aces High I finally had enough characters.

Do you have any other connection to aviation or WWII? My Uncle flew Mustangs in the big war. During the great Long Island aviation years I did subcontract work for Grumman; and was involved in the Intruder and F14D repower programs. I still have major developmental contracts with NASA Langley and the Naval Research Labs. We produce the battery packs and radio/servo power systems for the navys array of RPV's.
Other interesting things about yourself. US Army (69-72) I like boobies. (can i say that here??) I find the sheep in the sim stimulating conversationalists, and I read old copys of Playboy for the in-depth social commentary. I think the more insistent AH whiners are overmodeled.

I also have a fondness for F4,s. During the 68 Tet offensive. 2 btln. of NVA dropped by. I had hardly begun to squeak about this, when these F4,s zoom over and start blowing hell out of them. I think they were navy, but what the hell. I get a nice feeling every time i see one of those planes.

Your husband ever give you an 'Epilady' for Christmas?? (the guys out there will smile at this.. the electric trimmer was the kind that rips the hair out by the roots)
Anyway, after one trial; I never used it again and eventually my kid discovered it. One day I came home from work to discover a very bald, exceptionally mortified cat.. I was torn between anger and helpless laughter and when I started hollering at my 14 year old daughter she endured my half-hearted outrage with one of those smug grins of hers firmly in place. I think the cat must have noticed.. she avoided all of us for several weeks (blameless tho I was..)
Not long after the henious crime my kid discovered her favorite stuffed animal half buried in the litter box.
Life does offer some small rewards to the alert observer. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
The cat currently has it's coat back.. and even now (2 years later) if it's getting to be a pain in the bellybutton or obstinate, all I gotta do is turn those clippers on.... :>

(This was taken from a post under Squadrons);
If you live in area code 719 (Colorado Springs) you will love flying with us. We regularly meet before missions (Thursday nights) and we often make 2 to 12 person conference calls using our second phone lines as an in flight radio (audio 6-calls can't be beat! Newbies are welcome, (they usually fly better than me in about 1 week). To find us just click on the roster button and look for any Buccaneer, then send us/him a message on chanel 1.
The Buccaneers are 18 strong, We are meeting at Denny's at 4799 North Acadamy on Wednesday (1-26-00) at 5:00 (our phone coms start at 7:50 and that night's mission will start at 8:00). We would love to meet you. Just look for a bunch of ugly guys in the back making airplane noises.
We have a lot of fun at these meetings and you will meet some interesting guys. Our CO owns and flies a few real WWII warbirds, our training officer is a retired fighter pilot (several others are also military or retired military), a few others are real pilots and have quite a bit of time in WWII planes (and 1 is even a helicopter pilot ). A bunch of us also own authentic Army Air Corps uniforms and flight gear that we wear to airshows and sometimes Denny's.

Father flew Spit's (mainly VII) in WWII in 124 Squadron. His initials are RAF - really, I kid you not.
He did lots of high cover and also low level bombing/strafing/rockets over northern Europe. If you search for skeet you'll find I made
a post on how to jarbo in a spit based on a phone chat with him. 'course he's almost 80 now and says: 'as far as I remember' :-)
He also trained people on the Hengist and Horsa gliders for Arnhem type raids.
His brother (I'm named after) got shot down piloting a bomber over Italy - Trieste I think.
I'm learning to fly a PA38 Tomahawk - just up to my mandatory 5 hrs of instruments as part of PPL.

Other interesting things about yourself.
AH is my first flight sim, since I have started playing Falcon 4.0 as well. I learned to fly, fight and die here though and it is this community that keeps my here. I fly mostly the La-5FN because it was the easist to fly when I started. I also scored my first kill in it against Wardog. My desire to fly with a better organized group led me to fly Knights after Tour1 and there I met some of the greatest group of guys I have ever flown with. I flew Knights until almost the end when I joined the 129. Since coming to the 129 I have become a better than average pilot in the La-5 thanks to learning from Leonid, botwa and many of the others who are there. I have also started to learn how to speak russian (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) We now all fly knight and strive to inspire terror in the hearts of those who see us coming. Beware the formation of La-5FN coming for YOU!

Your Aces High call sign? It's significance?
CREAMO. Uh, this is a long story..:0) I went to a friends party outta town way back in high school, and heard this story. Apparently this guy at the party named Gary was on a school club outing where they all camped out. Being young, one of the guys suggested they play “Creamo”. Gary asked what it is and they tell him everyone throws $5 bucks in a hat. Then they shut off the lights and the first one to …errr..spank Frank, ala beat Pete…you know complete doing the 5 knuckle shuffle on the piss pump yells “Creamo!” and wins all the money. So they shut off the lights and the guys are slapping their legs, carrying on and what not. Finally, Gary yells, “Creamo!” They turn the lights on and of course there are 10 fully clothed guys howling with laughter and poor Gary holding his trout. Well I thought that was god awful funny and years later when I got a new job in Chicago told the story at work. After awhile, they retold it and retold it, finally screwing it up so I was the victim, not Gary. The capper was when this flight attendant came into our maintenance office and said, “Ohhh, you must be Creamo!” It stuck ever since. What the hell…..:0)

Love the P-38, think she's one beautiful bird, have "several" books and videos/DVD's on her. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) P-51, 109 next.

Grandfather served stateside in Navy during WWII, and later became President of parent company of commuter airline I worked for, he also designed the oversize cargo doors you see on DC-2's(C46). Spent 5 years working for that small commuter airline in AK, 3 1/2 as mechanic helper(enough to get A&P but never took tests (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) ) the rest as purchasing agent/warehouse manager. Started PPL lessons in Dec. '90, got ticket in Sept. '91. While working and living in Kodiak for the same commuter, I was able to recieve free float instruction from our chief floatpilot the summer of '92. Have wrenched on C172RG, C185, C207, C208, C441, Turbo Beavers, Twin Otters, Beech 1900's, Dash 7, Dash 8, and C-130's(civillian stretch model, can't remember designation, L-1011?). Also have stick time in some of them, the 207, 208 on amphib floats and wheels, and the Turbo Beavers on amphib floats, including Alaska Magnum Beaver(Family freind owns design). We also(Markair Express) had Wipline design and install the only set of amphib floats at the time for one of our Twin Otters! What a beast!

Some advice from a former Alaskan on:
"Single and still looking for a rich woman with big you know what's who can brave the cold Alaskan winter! "
You will not find her in Alaska. Move out of state for just one year and you probably will find her. The old saying; "In Alaska you don't lose your woman, you just lose your turn." is amazingly true. Move anywhere else and you will find nice, pretty, and available women everywhere.

I wish. Er, my buddy is a pilot and he lets me goof around up there... but that's about it (and his hands are always a half second away from retaking the controls if I push it too hard). As far as WWII, my grandfather was one of those guys that took care of the bombs that landed in England, but never blew up... duds. On his last day in England, after the war just ended, he was called off the train that was taking him to his boat home. They sent him to some field where they found another live bomb. They sent my Grandmother a piece of his boot and a charred picture that he kept of her. That's all that was left. My Grandmother remarried to someone who was some kinda special forces
guy. He doesn't like to talk about the war, so all I know is that his small group was trained up in Alaska then sent to Scandanvia or Finland (or someplace) to take out a nuclear facility the Germans were building. I don't really know the details.

The movie in spain is called "los heroes de telemark" or something like that...in english it is "telemark's heros".
I'm not quite sure about the name in english as here in spain the translations for the movies' titles are quite "creative" to say the least (you know that film with Robert Redford ,daryl hanna and Debra Winger called "legal Eagles"? here in spain its called "peligrosamente juntos"---->"dangerously together (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)"

Do you have any other connection to aviation or WWII? My father-in-law flew stateside in WWII. He trained gunners for the Army Air Corps. He has time in the; AT-6, P-39, P-63, RP-63, AT-11, B-25, and B-17. The RP-63 was a stripped, armor plated P-63 that was used as a manned flying target. His job was to mock attack B-17's and receive friendly-fire! The bullets were 30 cal. powdered lead/bakelite plastic, and would disintegrate on contact with the hardened aluminum armor plating on the RP-63.
I am involved with a pretty amazing living history group in Colorado Springs called "Fantasy Flight". The two leaders of this group own a C-45/AT-11 and two AT-6's. The members of Fantasy Flight maintain these old Warbirds and fly them to airshows throughout Colorado and other parts of the USA. Each of the 30+ members own at least one authentic WWII Army Air Force uniform that is worn to these airshows.

Well, my online handle had been "Sparrow" for some time. I named my account iSparrow for some reason when I signed on. When I got the "choose a callsign" part of signing up, I decided I didn't want Sparrow, so I put the I in front, and shortened Sparrow to spar, giving me "Ispar." I guess I thought it was clever. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
[4/25/01] Ok, it turns out that "Ispar" is the name of a character in Asheron's Call, a massively-mulitplayer online rpg. WTF? Apparently it was around about a year before I created my name here. I want to make it clear that I had never heard of this before. So don't ask if that's where I got it. It was almost kind of embarassing when someone asked me which server I played on, and I had no idea what he was talking about.

Yes, actually. My dad's father was in the army. Non combat, he had a deskjob of some sort. At least partly because he wore glasses I think. My mom's father was in the Marines (an airfield technician or something like that), and was on Okinawa. He's kind of bitter about the idiots who fired their guns in the air to celebrate the victory. Apparently a few people got hurt (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif).

Actually they where dropped in the mountains at Telemark, Norway to sabotage the heavy-water plant in Rukan(also Norway). They blew it up in a daring raid, and a few days afterwards blew up a ferry that transported the rest of the heavy-water. This was one of the greatest acts of sabotage in WWII. Most of the men involved in the group was Norwegians. (Sweden or swedish people was not involved in this, as their country was "neutral" during the war).

Oh BigUC I hope you read this. There is a really good book out there that talks about that. It's called The Making Of The Bomb. Very brave men. I live next door to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. It was built as part of the Manhatten Project. It made the plutonium for the A-bombs in WWII. It also has the worlds first operational nuclear reactor. I'm very interested in this kind of stuff. Thanks for the story. <S>

I'm a memeber of the EAA and have held my Private Pilot's License since 1991. There's a real lack of airplanes bigger than little Cessna's so I haven't upgraded to high performance and I'm still working on finishing up my Instrument training.
I'm going to start learning to fly a UH-1 Huey in a few weeks so I am really looking forward to that (even bought Apocalypse Now on DVD in preparation!!).
I have piloted a jet fighter, albeit an old bird...a DeHaviland Vampire. Kinda looks like a P-38 but with a centerline jet engine...here's a picture of one, tho not the one I got to fly.

Air Warrior for Windows brought so many more players in it filled our servers up for weeks..then came AW2 and a killer animation done in just 2 weeks on P90's ..AW3 was the first online air combat game with texture maps (if not the first texture mapped 3d game) ..I was hammered for years there, too much to do, not enough time to do it! Loved every minute of it :)

Do you have any other connection to aviation or WWII?
My family was very much involved in the Danish resistance movement. My grandad’s brother was a partisan and a terrible figure, who would kill Germans for the fun of it. My grandfather experienced this one day, when Villy without any warning shot two German soldiers dead on a street in Copenhagen.
Further, I am writing a book on the Danes that flew with the RAF during WWII. If anyone knows anything about these fellows, please ping me!

I read somewhere that dogfighting is really like a chess match in the sky. I am finding that to be true, except that dogfighting seems to require the simultaneous and instantaneous evaluation of many more variables than chess! I am sure that those of you that amaze me (and kill me) every time I log on are not only very practiced but also very bright. <S>!
I don't yet have a squad, although once I gain a little proficiency I'd like to find one.
My AH callsign is JNOV. It is an acronym for a Latin phrase that, roughly translated, means "justice notwithstanding the verdict."
I am 33 years old.
I am an attorney in Austin, Texas.
I attended The Ohio State University for 12 years and have B.S., M.S., Ph.D. (electrical engineering), and J.D. (law) degrees. I guess I was just trying to avoid the "real world" for as long as possible!
I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio and still consider that "home." Like many Clevelanders, I am a big sports fan, particularly of the Indians and Browns.
I have been happily married for six years, and my wife is currently pregnant with our first child. He (the doctor is 90% certain of the sex) is due on St. Patrick's Day, and we are in the midst of a heated debate over names. I'm not terribly particular; my only real aim is to avoid subjecting him to some obscure Irish name (the combination of my wife's heritage and the baby's due date seems too much for her to resist) that will subject him to a childhood of constant ridicule.
When I am not working (which is most of the time)or playing with my computer, I like to work out, read (mainly history and science fiction), or build new computers!
I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Cougar HOTAS that I preordered, because I am sure that, just like that new $400 driver, it is going to make all the difference in the world! :)

My wife is from OH also, and is very Irish Catholic.

What do you do for a living?
Senior editor for National Petroleum News, heading to the National Association of Convenience Stores annual convention tomorrow to eat samples of bad c-store food, look at a few gas pumps, and watch the inevitable Playboy twins, Juggs women and perhaps say hi to Larry Flint.
Before this 2 years freelance writing and computer HW/SW consulting and before that five years as doing PR for the Water Quality Association.
What is your marital/family status?
Just married a month ago. She understand my addiction to computer gaming (AH in particular these days) about as much as I understand her addiction to shoes.
What schools have you attended?
Norther Illinios Univ (1983-1984); lifestyle induced injection of the real world (1985-1988/learned to do some good torch and mig work though); Oakton Community college and a BA degree from Columbia College Chicago (1989-1992)
What are your hobbies?
Computers, water skiing, astronomy, listening to bands, history, science fiction (reading and writing), shooting (pistols).
What sims have you been involved in? Your call sign and squad in that sim?
First multiplayer flight sim ever, Airfight(?) back in the late 1970s. My stepfather had access to a university computer and would sneak me in to play on the PLATO system. At about 2 seconds per frame with a keyboard interface it was pretty rough flying those F-104s and Mig-21s. Had more luck with the Empire game where my shining moment was hitting a Romulan Bird of Prey with three photon torpedoes for my first online kill :)
Since:F-15 strike eagle on the Apple 2, Falcon on a 286, several thousand kills in RedBaron 1... many, many more over the years but few boxed sims after I found AW in 1993(?), where I played on Delphi as Charon/4261.
Do you have any other connection to aviation or WWII?
First thing I ever saved up to buy, when I was probably 8 or 9 years old, was Jablonski's B-17. It tortured me from publication ads in Airpower and Wings for many months before I had enough money (with some generous help from Mom im sure) to buy it.
Introductory flight coupon sitting on my desk right now.
E-5/19DH (armored cavalry instructor)in the US Army Reserves 1984-1992, where the main gun on my 113 was a frickin' turbo laser M-2 .50 cal. Active duty locations included Fort Knox and Bliss.
Grandfather served on a communications ship in WW2 from Torch to Okiniwa. Worked in the laundry and ran a still (like any good West Virginia coal miner should) which helped take the edge off the U-boats and kamakazis. His GQ station was tossing 5" shells into the breech of a gun.
Other interesting things about yourself.
Partied with Csomonaut German Titov -- first man to spend a significant amount of time in space (before Glenn). He was quite a character (died recently at 65). The drinks were flowing and he was joking about wanting to go back up test the effects aging has on the sexual libo in space. What a hoot.

He has time in the; AT-6, P-39, P-63, RP-63, AT-11, B-25, and B-17. The RP-63 was a stripped, armor plated P-63 that was used as a manned flying target. His job was to mock attack B-17's and receive friendly-fire! The bullets were 30 cal. powdered lead/bakelite plastic, and would disintegrate on contact with the hardened aluminum armor plating on the RP-63.
I am involved with a pretty amazing living history group in Colorado Springs called "Fantasy Flight". The two leaders of this group own a C-45/AT-11 and two AT-6's. The members of Fantasy Flight maintain these old Warbirds and fly them to airshows throughout Colorado and other parts of the USA.

I`ll have to correct you Zigrat,,,,,it was in Norway,they actually
made a movie about it,with Richard Harris and Kirk Douglas in the maincharacters.The Hero´s of Telemarken filmed on location.
The Germans wanted to transport the very special water,from
that plant to germany.The water was used in the proces of making the nukebomb somehow(dont no the detaíl).
The group first trid to blow up the plant,but failed.
Then they had to prevent it from going to Germany,unfortunately
the only way to do so was to blow up a ferry,which transported the water over a fiord on the journey to Germany.
There was alot of innocence lives lost,,,,so I guess it was a hard decision to make,,,,but the operation was a succees.

Sikboy, It's the license plate on my Triumph. When I was 19 I lived in Monterey, CA and I bought a Triumph Spitfire. I thought I'd be cool as toejam if I got a personalized license plate. "Sick Boy" by Social Distortion was my favorite song at the time, but that was taken, but I was able to get "Sikboy." A few months later I discovered AirWarrior on GEnie, and just used the same name. Funny though, that was 10 years ago, and now I have a hard time explaining that license plate to some of my more "sophisticated" friends lol

FunkedUp
It's from a Parliament song, P.Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up). (http://www.dqc.org/~chris/doc/wefunk.html). Getting funked up is what happens when you listen to P.Funk on the intergalactic radio station WEFUNK. It's not a sexual reference or a reference to vulgarity.
Edit: That's my old callsign. Current one is Orze1. "Orzel" is the Polish word for Eagle, the national symbol, which appears on the national flag and military uniforms and insignia. It's also a rather potent bird of prey.
