United States Naval Aviation squadron designation

V  Fixed wing
A  Attack
Q  Electronic Warfare (Countermeasures)

Callsign from Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 131 (the VAQ-131 "Lancers"), my old USN squad.  Seemed an appropriate callsign for Aces High.

I start flight sims with Su-27 Flanker 1.*.
That time many pilots had names like "Super killer", "deathabove" etc "idonthaveahardonwithoutpc" stuff.

I choise a "Name" which aint means nothing.

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.  :)

My callsign in-game is Ikaros.
Its my favorite main character from the show Sora no Otoshimono (Heaven's Lost Property)
Shes an Angeloid, which is half Angel, half Android.
I chose it because she flys alot, and I like flying games so...

Oh yea, she can fly at mach 27, and has a bow that fire arrows with nuclear warheads, pretty op  :angel:
