Something like Conrad said...you could ask my father next time. vhpy

With age I am loosing my memory, and to try to addapt to this limitation and given all the places you need a username, I chose a common one that should be easy to remember for me...go figure, my surname and initials. Luckily I also have predictive text. :lol:

I must say, for this forum I did try others, like, Wingnut, Miles (nickname in high school, as I am quite tall) etc. but I suppose they were not original enough or too common, so, they were all taken. :mrgreen: Never seen Wingnut or Miles posting anything though. ##

I used to be Bad Nav.... standing joke for my dual cross country nav taking more than 5 hours because of headwinds in a Cheetah (oh, I was not lost!)

Then Morph branded me "The Stirrer" and gave me a wooden spoon to stir the pot.... The chaps at MISASA were so "afraid" of me, they got me onto the committee ;-) but it was after something that the well known Jim Davis said that made me change it to my real name. The thing is - I wont hide behind a pseudonym and will stand by what I say or do.... 'cause in the end, that's the way I am. The "don't pretend to is who you do not are" bit comes to mind - I am who I am :-)

Pilots are never lost John...in worst cases we are "temporarily unsure of our position" :lol:...after a few R&R's you not so scary mate. ^

With the added publicity here on my name origin...some of my flying buds have even started calling Maxine "Peg" :lol:
