    Hey, my comrades!

    To put it very simply, I’m in a totally new phase in life. I think I may need a new name to better reflect it. This is according to an ancient tradition I learned from my Ojibwe brother Nanook, a man of the people of the land who look at the sky.

    The native tradition believes names carry meaning, and the names we give to ourself and others are powerful words to carry us forth in our lives towards our dreams.

    So, I’d just like to say how awesome it has been to be OST with you here...but the man I am today is something more, something different. Like, if OST was an egg I was sleeping inside, what would I be now when I have hatched?

    Any ideas?

    What I am asking is, would you help me find a new name to bear here? I’d very much like this to be as tradition goes, with the honour and wisdom and blessing from my brothers and sisters in arms.

    So looking forward to seeing what you would come up with for me :) I’ll put my first thought out for you to consider:

    ~SpitFire~

    I say that because it is much like I hatched from egg and now have wings. Inside, I am burning brightly, and have many things to say. I have words to warm people up inside, all nice and cozy like, but I also have the words to shoot any aggressor down in flames

    I would take this name and use it to battle the enemies of the sky, those who would choose to serve their dark deeds and use other people’s suffering for their profit. I would use this name to defend and comfort those who have been abused, neglected, outcast.

    It’s either that or StarFighter, it’s the plane my Grandfather was a specialist with. He trained people how to fly it.

  3. Don't know about you but I don't really like letters or words. I prefer numbers. So, how about:
    F-104
     
  4. The Spitfire picture is awesome! Can you shrink it and have it as your signature picture? I think the Nic "Spitfire" would be great.

    Ah, you are back! Well, from what I remember of your personality, weaponized fighter planes seem inappropriate. You are a man of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Pick a more positive image O/Time. :)

  6. Good point, and true. But I think the Spitfire and the men that flew them in WW2 are symbols of strength against tough/evil opposition, determination, perseverance, and true manliness that looks out to protect others despite the risks.

  8. And finishing the thought, these are things that are needed if we are going to break this PMO addiction and be someone that contributes in life instead of hiding in our rooms and touching ourselves for hours on end.

    Besides the ridiculous problems it's had mechanically, and it's bloated, trillion dollar budget?

    I think it's a failure and a joke, propping up defense spending and serving cronyists by allowing them to siphon the money to industries that serve their own interests.

  12. I agree with you there! That plane and the F-22 are both "White Elephants" as far as I'm concerned. (Do people use that phrase anymore?).

    You could go with "WarHawk" or "Hurricane" or "Tiger Moth."

    "Koolhoven" sounds cool, lol. It was a Dutch design, used by the Polish aviation force in WWII.

  14. OP needs a plane that signifies strength and a plane that was successful.

    That's what we are all going to do in this fight against PMO, be strong and successful.

    Of course there have been bugs, we started the delivery before the test and evaluation phase was completed because our 4th gen fleet was struggling.

    Its not cheap but it performs so many tasks it should actually save money once the program is mature.

    It hasn't gotten started yet, and it is not a joke. Stealthy aircraft are expensive but worth it. Wanna play target practice for the s-400/500? What alternative would you suggest?

    The F-35 has gotten a crap ton of bad press, but its not a failure (as of now, there is no way to know its future combat ratios). The media hates it, but the military loves it.

    gotta run now but I'll be back for more...

    It's not related to aircraft (as far as I know anyway), but I think Ronin would sound really cool.

    Hey everyone! WOW! I so love everything you are pouring out for me here to consider. I am SO honoured by your words, so happy to have your input!!

    Hey there my fair feathered friend @IGY! I hear ya my friend!! I am so glad you see me like that, because that is how I am in my heart towards my beloved friends & comrades here. There has just been SO MUCH that has happened lately though, I've gone through some deep inner transformation and as such I'd like a name to reflect this new me.

    I'm still very much the same person, but now I'm armed to the teeth and am hungry to go out and sink my teeth into some bad wolves, if you get what I'm saying? Just to be perfectly clear, by "bad wolves" I mean the kind of evil that turns good people into tools of darkness. Like in the porn industry......I love the people there, but I detest their practices.

    It's like it is just now that I am ready to really deal with this kind of stuff in earnest. Kind of like the me you knew before was a baby eagle, all cute and fluffy and loving. I'm still that way, but now I'm grown up and can go hunt food. I have claws and teeth and talons, and I want to use them for a good purpose :)

    Very interesting, I was hoping someone would pitch a completely different idea. I LOVE the Ronin concept, would you mind sharing with me why you thought of that and what it would mean for me to take that name?

    Aye, you echo my own heart in this very well.


    I'd love to reply to everyone personally, if I missed ya, please know I did read everything here and am contemplating everything you've said :)

    Yes, I know you embody the fruitage of the Holy Spirit (hence my reference to Gal 5:22,23).

    When it comes to avatars and usernames what we intend to convey is not always what people infer. For example, I have often received the comment that the picture I have is apt because the owl denotes wisdom to them. But that never crossed my mind in choosing it. In fact, symbolism didn't come into my thinking at all, haha! :D I just wanted something to represent one of my favourite animals such as tigers, sloths and owls. For some reason that avatar stood out. The IGY name is the title of a song where the chorus contained the optimism I felt on joining the site:

    What a beautiful world this'll be, what a glorious time to be free [x2]
