There are some interesting user names on here so why don't we all explain where why we chose em... Ones like "Alex", "Daniel" and "Anthony" etc etc I think are all pretty self explanatory. Some others aren't though....

As for mine, - A185F, for those who don't know it is a model (the last and possibly best) of a Cessna 185 (the greatest aeroplane god ever invented) I really like these planes (for those who can't tell) and did a fair chunk of time in one and during that time I signed up here and well couldn't think of anything else.....

YOUR turn...

Born in the "Naki" - lived there for 20 years before moving to Auckland for another 20 (with a short stint in Palmy and Sydney) and now in Tauranga. My real life flying years were in the Naki - hopefully it wil be resurrected here in the Bay. Bit confusing since I live in Tauranga and my forum name is Naki - thought about changing it but never got around to it.

I got mine when I created my first bbs account, back in the days when a 1200baud modem was flash cool and techie, on Jupiter I/O. The sysop was called something like "The President of the Board" so I cheekily called myself "The Chairman of the Board".

Mine's the rego of my favourite plane spelled in the phonetic alphabet (well at least until VA gets something bigger than -VAC tongue.gif ).

My name's Matt and I used ZK-MAT as my callsign when on Vatsim. It also happens to be the reg of a Cessna 172 here in the BoP owned by Bay Flight International, so there's a local flavour but I have no association with the plane or Bay flight.

Mine has nothing to do with my association with Larry Flynt... honest! dry.gif

But seriously... I was in rebel sport one day looking through the posters and found this one... I liked it so much that I bought it... painstakingly scanned it in on an A4 printer and stitched it back together... I was heavily into Counterstrike in those days, and it fit with the theme and made for a cool custom 'spray'...

I also used to play a lot of chess in high school...

The "Pawn/P0rn" pun value is just an added bonus... smile.gif

Yer mine is fairly self explanatory cause it's just my first name. smile.gif
Some may remember that when I first joined up my username was brotonee.
That wasn't anything special either, just based around a nickname - Brother Tony, from school.

Mines pretty simple... Alfa - as in Alfa Romeo, since I'm an Alfaholic. Shark - an age old nickname for me for two reasons, I have very strong teeth and use them as tools when needed (never get caught short with the wrong spanner), and the fact I drink like a fish cheers1.gif I'm sure Snowman recalls my 2-3am pie runs lol
