How did you come up with your Microlighters username?

[Conrad]

I will ask my mother when I see her again.

[Tailspin]

I was a Fan of the cartoon Talespin that was on.

My Nick at school was Vlam and a few others - but hey Tailspin suited me cos i was all ways at the Back of the pack.

[Madman]

Always been a fan of Icarus,thus the reason for my avatar...so figured Madman describes him/me best

[Barberton Sparkie]

Now come on, mine is eeeezzzzy. Lets guess. I live on a farm near Barberton (Mpumalanga) and I have my own bussiness. Electrical contractor. Pitty I cant afford a chopper to get to my breakdowns allot faster Real name: Deon Groenewald

[ZULU1]

I owe mine to the late Dave Bekker from SAFlyer.. he stayed with me a few years back over the Virginia air show period. Anyway he overheard a technical communication between myself and my chief enjinear (gardening) in elevated tones not resembling the queens english.....anyway at dinner, the conversation drifted to the subject of my new trikes registration. Dave promptly stated "it has to be ZULU1..and not the other one" and that was that! Next registration is to be ZU- LUT or Zulu2...

Boy did i suffer talking to the tower..Lima uniform india is a mouthful..

[Turbo]

everything i own is turbocharged, including my plane -- (soon to be) and i eat, sleep, breath, think, dream turbos all day every day -- i have designed and machined my own compressor wheels, and turbine housings, exhibited these at SEMA last year -- so ya turbo it is guess.

[topflight]

I enjoyed playing golf when I was in school (my parents paid for it); now I don’t play any more because it is too expensive (my parents do not want to pay for it anymore…wonder why ). There is a golf ball manufacturer called “Top Flite”…so I just changed the name to top-flight.

[Big-D]

At one stage I weighed 135kg....Andy Kasparson wanted me to run around the airfield when I came for training to loose some weight I have dropped a bit since then

Fat Dave did not sound good so I went with Big-D

[MILO]

I used to carry a six pack of the 275ml Milo in the cartons. I always had 6 in the flying bag. Great before and after flight especially if leaving early I missed breakfast.
That was in the days when a carton of Milo was cheaper than a 375 Windhoek!
The avatar comes from how I looked before beer became cheaper than milo in cartons and my well toned six pack turned into a crate

[Tumbleweed]

Too embarrasing and costly to repeat.

[Pat Two]

My surname sounds like pat-two (Pitout).

Also I am the younger of twins.. We were at hostel during schooling and getting our names / faces right was a mission for most people. We ended up being Pat-One (my older twin boet) and Pat-Two (me).

Names like Putu and Patat was also bandied about but I like Pat-Two the most.

[Air Hog]

Air Hog - Pad Vark's Flying Boet
