Smurfy is my flying nick, as i`m 1.62m tall and was given that nickname at 6th form aged 17, 27 years on I still have people calling it me and by some who don`t actually know my real name at all.

My nick is self explanatory :mrgreen: . I like it....I like it a lot.

Had it since my virtual flying career started back 13 years ago and been drinking it for over 27 years.

Whiskey

The classic Primal Scream album from 1991. Includes the tracks " Higher Than The Sun " and " Loaded " as well as " Damaged " and " I'm Comin' Down ", which sort of describes my flying style.:)

Origin
 

I called myself "Jumpy" because I am an old "jumper", that is skydiver.
Also fly a microlight. Like flying just above the tree tops, down with the birds.
Land on the beach, or looking for crocs in the creeks. I'm also a bit nervous (jumpy) so it is one of those double entendre things, I think. I'm not nervous in the air, though. Things are clear up there.

One day I flushed the toilet and it made this weird sound. I listened closely and came up with the nick.

Forename Alasdair (Ali)
Surname Fisher (Fish)

And i used to go to High school with a special needs guy that wasnt getting any special help. hence being at my school. he actually made this name up 21 years ago.

Boring really, my family name is Holland. I was called 'Dutch' all through school.
The 851 is for a Ducati I'd still like to get my mitts on.:)

We had a dog our kids named Binky. In registering him with the American Kennel Club, there were already 8 other Binky's, so the AKC registered him as Binky9. He's gone, now, but not forgotten.

I'm such a bad pilot I'm always looking for vengeance but that nick was taken.
I wanted Ace of Aces first but that was taken too.

Had the name Luthier and sold it to Iliya for an IL-2 mug.

My nickname is the title of an old arcade game with biplanes I used to spend a fortune to in the arcade halls as a kid.
