Yes Falcon, big beautiful bird but you avatar he is, erh he is   what is he? not falcon, maybes a crow?

Not a crow, a raven with the famous name "Hans Huckebein, der Unglücksrabe",
(Ta-183 got this name later ;D), conceived and painted by Wilhelm Busch.

see the story of Hans Huckebein (Jack Crook, Bird of Evil, what btw is a
not very proper translation as the correct meaning is: "HH, the "jinx"), here:

Nothing interesting about mine. Bonez refers to my physique. I'm kinda skinny (5' 9" 150-160lbs normally, down to 135-145lbs during chemo).
It also rhymes with my surname and is a derivation of a nickname that I've had a long time (T-Bone).

I took my name when I first stated flying flight sims. The first site I found and became active on was Sim Outhouse. My last name is Holloway so I wanted something that would kind of go with that. Back then when all this was new to me my favorite plane to fly was the B-17 and I loved the bombsite view. So, I thought about when they drop their bombs they would a yell " Bombs away!!!" So I took my name from that. Everyone yells out my name. :)

Mine's The_Jester because that's what someone told me my callsign would be the first time I played IL2. My avatar is that of Eisenacher Motorenwerk. The story behind this is that when Germany was divided, BMW's factories in Bayern fell under Soviet control. As a result, the company had to relocate and produce cars elsewhere. However, the Soviets continued producing BMW 327s and BMW R35s with the BMW badge for a year or two. BMW took legal action and the Soviets changed from blue and white to red and white and renamed the company. The reason for me choosing this is that Josef Priller, who I share a birthday with, drove a BMW 327. I think the car is gorgeous, but few wartime production cars exist, so a large number of the remaining ones are actually EMW 327s.
