    Like some other chaps that have already posted,....giving my first and last name as my forum name worked fine. Guess it falls into the K.I.S.S. category.

    I was always called lim by my buddy on road trips we take every year ( he saw a resturaunt sign in Redding California with this name and applied to me). I thought my buddy kind of looked like Jack Nickelson the celebrity in the early years. Now the tricky part, tried to create a screen name using lim and it was already being used so added jack to it. bingo!

    During my years as a middle aged adult I owned several small aircraft (a Chief and a Citabria), but I never found them to be much like the aircraft Uncle Sam let me fly when I young (bring on the Eric Burdon and the Animals...check this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur30bn_3G58). So, I ordered a kit from Van's Aircraft (founded by the very talented Richard VanGrunsven). The serial number of my kit was 80017 (one of the earliest RV-8s). After several years it became operational as N817J. My icon is the Vertigo Studios version of N817J. If anyone is ever in the vicinity of KLVN I'd be pleased to give you a tour. Best regards to all.

    Mine is also my "nom de guerre," so to speak, from my twenty plus years on the road as a long haul trucker. These names, are bestowed on the new guys by the senior drivers after they observe the FNG for a while. Being given your "handle" is a right of passage for a trucker, as it means you have been accepted into their brotherhood. Mine was chosen for me by the most senior driver in the company. He had been driving trucks for almost forty years when I started. He told me, "We are going to call you Quicksand, because you're falling in love with these trucks, and you're sinking fast." Sadly, my friend passed away several years ago. I remember him every time I log in here...

    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.

    Not very special really, it was just my radio call sign when I worked as the Head of Engineering Development section at EGOD.

    We Dutch must be quite simple people as Huub Vink is what my parents named me. The story behind my avatar is perhaps more interesting, however I will keep that one for myself.....

    Cheers,

    First internet forum I joined was for Hammond Organ digital emulators, "clonewheels" they are called. I was playing an Oberheim OB3 at the time and 11 has always been a lucky number for me. C'est tout.

    A very interesting thread .... my screen name Flyboy 208 comes from many friends calling me "flyboy" because of my real-world flying, I originally used this name at Flightsim ... I intended to be "Flyboy203" , the 203 signified my time with my second US Navy F/A-18 squadron, VFA-203 ... somehow that name was already in use at Flightsim , so I opted for "Flyboy208" ... the 208 is the designator for The Cessna Caravan. Including a real pic of my Sister and I in front of the Pilatus P-3 that I used to fly ... Mike
