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.

Had it as a nickname since the 70's. Played basketball and my teammates called me McAdoo after Bob McAdoo of the NBA.

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.

My call sign should be "Jizznastics".  Sadly it doesn't fit.

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

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:

 I have a better story for ya.... :D





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".  :)

And then there's your new name, which I still can't believe you were so willing to adopt. You not only did that but you even got into character!  :rofl

I got my forum name from the nickname I was given in high school. It didn't fit the AH 8 character limit so I came up with something better. Player1... sad thing is it took me 15 minutes to come up with it...  :uhoh
