Well mine kind of speaks for itself.
I was living in Europe when i first got into flight sims, (CFS1, 2, 3 and OFF before moving onto IL-2 and RoF), so when i joined my first forum over there I felt I also needed something that said where I was from, Australia. Plus also having my pilots licence, I came up with "Aussie Pilot".

since I can remember, I use as a nickname KIRK in games. It is a tribute to the famous Captain James Tiberius Kirk of the USS Enterprise, TVserie 60s, along with those who travel on hundreds of worlds since my birth in 1965.
 S! and all life long and prosper!

It was gotten from several places:
-a song from the old pop band "America". (Ventura Highway)
-one of the used cars I owned.
-might also be from the Lockheed Ventura but I'm not sure...

btw, SAS has the -BEST- collection of header pics I've seen on any avsim sight!

Mine is derived from the name of river on the coast of which I was born. Gues which it is and where it is.  ;)

Ukraine ?

"Wrathbringer" in consonants, some random username I coined just for kicks and giggles when playing PC games a few years back. It became my standard username ever since. I actually spell my name as:

D' WRTHBRNGR

...but I substitute alternatives like "D-WRTHBRNGR" whenever there are restrictions in using symbols in usernames.

mine was a German medal of honour presented to heroic aviators during world war 1, being English 'Victoria cross' would have been more appropriate but the name Victoria doesn't sit to well with a 48 year old man ;)
From this day on, thou shalt be known as Victoria, or 'Vicky' ;)

:D

Funny to see such a topic bob up every now and then.
So, well, here goes; got my name from a disambiguation of Eschaton, inspired by one of my fav songs by the Polish blackened deathmetal band 'Behemoth' called "Chant for Eexhaton2000".

I found it rather fitting to me, myself (and Irene too, for the lovers of that joke ;) ), and to the current state of the world.

It involved leaving a tap open, which flooded a whole top floor of a Sgts Mess, which then soaked into the light switches below, where a Dutch Marine was sleeping, who woke up in the dark wondering what the dripping sound was, threw the light switch and electrocuted himself, followed by a very drunken clean up operation, and an ambulance, then a quick run ashore, followed by a mate managing to drive his car into the same mess bar avoiding the totally unnecessary option (in my humble view) of opening the doors first, thereby demolishing the foyer, the awards cabinet and parts of the bar.

All this on my first day in the unit, my remaining time in this unit was somewhat less exciting ... apart from a small colonial war and some dodgy  "police actions".

PS:  The Dutch Marine survived, (we are still mates) and so did the bar optics, thank f*ck !!

The name stuck forever more, no idea why ...
