I drive a Toyota Tacoma... started out on the yotatech forums several years ago. Ended up just keeping the same nick for 1c forums to make things easier to remember. Simple as that!

bongodriver 11-03-2011 06:32 PM

I used to fly the Britten Norman Islander, they have the nickname 'bongo' don't know if it's from the military or just general affection, and because I have a lack of imagination and am lazy I can't be bothered to change it to Learjetdriver :)

FFCW_Urizen 11-03-2011 06:37 PM

From a spawn comic :D

von Pilsner 11-03-2011 06:47 PM

It was originally Baron von Pilsner (since been shortened), inspired by Homer Simpson as the Beer Baron...

MD_Titus 11-03-2011 06:53 PM

there was a monkey soft toy in a friend's room at uni, it was christened "titus gibbonicus" after the Shakespearean Titus Andronicus (long story, altered states etc). hyperlobby wouldn't accept such a long name in combination with my squad tag of MD, so it got shortened.

Helrza 11-04-2011 07:15 AM

Back in 2001, the days of warbirds only allowed a 6 letter name, i decided to call myself according to what i beleive i was doing in the air, being a hellraiser, or Helrza for short, and has stuck since :)

B4 that, the name deadma (couldnt fit the "n") wasnt working for me rofl

'Super' is from the movie "Black Hawk Down", where the BlackHawks callsign was Super 6-x

pupaxx 11-04-2011 08:31 AM

Originally 'italian puppet', a free traduction from the repertoir of my favored '70-'90 italian comic Paolo Villaggio.
It was initially chosen as username for email account but unavailable cause it was already been used by others, after several permutations 'pupaxx' was the first available.
Cheers

flyingblind 11-04-2011 08:38 AM

Thats what I do. Doh.

Storm of When 11-04-2011 08:53 AM

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.

Whiski 11-04-2011 10:20 AM

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.

Screamadelica 11-04-2011 10:25 AM

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.:)

Jumpy 11-04-2011 10:41 AM

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.

Madfish 11-04-2011 11:32 AM

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

Ali Fish 11-04-2011 11:42 AM

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.

ATAG_Dutch 11-04-2011 11:51 AM

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.:)

badfinger 11-04-2011 12:02 PM

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.

Vengeanze 11-04-2011 04:44 PM

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.

FlyingShark 11-04-2011 05:29 PM

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.

~S~

MadBlaster 11-04-2011 05:44 PM

Before IL-2 there was Halo. I had always liked being the masterchief with my blaster in that game. I also noticed that the default profile for IL-2 was John "Mad" Doe. Then it happened. A halo shown over my head and I had an epiphany. Thou shalt call thyself “MadBlaster"! So, I bought myself a supersuit just like the masterchief and the IL-2 adventure began. Exploding zeros with my corsair.:)

SIDWULF 11-05-2011 05:03 AM
