radio call sign in Viet Nam, when I joined the damned years ago changed it to dmdchief because I was the police chief of jefferson, texas, then changed it back to ab8aac when I left the damned.  So I am  "ALPHA BRAVO 8 ALPHA ALPHA CHARLIE, ab8aac, THE ALL AMERICAN CHICKEN MAN, I AM EVERYWHERE, AND I AM ON THE AIR." and the squad laughs everytime I sign in, :headscratch: humm wonder if they are laughing with me or at me, oh well they will be laughing at me when I start lawndarting

Hi, I'm from Norway and this is why i came up with my game ID. :salute

In Norwegian sea folklore, the Kraken is an enormous sea monster which would sometimes attack ships and feed upon the sailors. It was supposed to be capable of dragging down the largest ships and when submerging could suck down a vessel by the whirlpool it created. It is part octopus and part crab, although others refer to it as a giant squid or cuttlefish. It was first described by Pontoppidan in his History of Norway (1752). The sheer size and fearsome appearance attributed to the beasts have made them common ocean-dwelling monsters in various fictional works (see Kraken in popular culture). The legend may actually have originated from sightings of real giant squid that are estimated to grow to 13 metres (46 feet) in length, including the tentacles. These creatures normally live at great depths, but have been sighted at the surface and reportedly have “attacked” small ships :salute

Despite what most think, mine has nothing to do with the leafy green vegetable. It's actually just a weird knock-off of my last name (Minnich) that seemed to come up in school.

I've always been interested in WW1 and WW2 air combat, but have little to no interest in any "jet age" aerial combat.  So, I wanted a name that would reflect that..

Hence PFactorDave on the forum and PFactorD in the game.

Choker41 is a combination of a nickname in college and 41 was an old basketball number.  Choker came from Pearl Jam song that my roommate kept singing "Don't call me Choker".  My last name is Yoder.  He did call me Choder but some of us know what a Chode is.  He then called me Choker.  I can't imagine someone telling me "Hey Chode, check your six."  It was even more funny when I flew with Stroker1 (Duhasst), and we would land kills together.  Choker and Stroker landed ## kills.  We often got some very humorous reactions from the community.

Well, I figured I'd be pissing everyone off when I shoot them down (has happened upto a point. I even got a message from EZRino saying "you are my nemesis, Nemisis". Past that, I just thought it sounded good.

Mine is a nickname given to me by my then gf now wife. When I joined AW it was the only id that would be accepted so I just stuck with it in AH the numbers are my lucky numbers. Pronounced OH SO, but have been called "O" "ESS" "O" etc. , so its been funny at times when talking on range with other players. I never thought  this addiction would last 12+ years.  :O

I go back to Air Warrior version 1.0, about 23 years ago.   At first there were no handles; they assigned plane numbers when you signed up.  I was plane number 715.  Much later they decided to add handles and, being creatively challenged, I just used my plane number.  I was the only player allowed to use my plane number as my handle, so I am the original "annoying numbers guy".  

When I moved from AW (to Confirmed Kill, then to Warbirds and then) to Aces High, I chose 715 as my handle.  When Aces High came out of beta they had everyone pick a new handle (I don't remember why) so I became 715A.  Years later, in frustration, I quit.  When I restarted, I became 715B.


A lot of great stories, but I thought this one was especially cool.

Switched to lethrnek last month since some people have trouble pronouncing gyrene (ji-reen) in vox.
