What's the story behind your callsign? We all use some kind of cool callsign (handle, nickname, username) and I am sure that they all have an interesting story behind them.
In my case, I have used several over the years. But I mostly use "seaviper". Back in the early 1990's I was one of the very few DF fliers at Markham Park in FL. I flew the Bob Fiorenze F-16, also known as the "viper". It was fast and maneuverable. I had friends flying the real thing. The Viper was my favorite plane. At that time I also became a tech diver and bought a boat. It was a fast and maneuverable RIB (rigid hull inflatable...think seals. Actually I did see one just like mine strapped to the side of the USS Higgins) Anyway, I needed a name for the boat.
I named it "seaviper" after the F-16 because it could do 30+ knots at cruise loaded with divers and tanks and turn like a jet fighter. Empty I got it to 51 kts. It could go faster. I wouldn't.
Anyway, that's why I use "seaviper". It was the name of my boat.
