I'm on a circle track racing team, Tyrod Racing, and my name's Tom, a lot of people at the tracks called me Tyrodtom already, so I just adopted it for my online ID.
 
Elmas is the name of the seaplane and landplane airport of my town.

Very famous, from there started many of the Balbo and De Pinedo cruises in the '30s.

Here two IMAM Ro. 1 flying over the lagoon: at the stick of the plane in the front there's the Gen. Aldo Costa (Lieutenant, in those days) wich I had the pleasure to meet in his seventies.



Gen Costa in this picture is at the extreme right: the photo explains well his nickname "Metrocubo" (cubic metre).....



Gen. Costa took his wings on the Spad XIII in the '20s and flew on reconnaissance aircraft Ro. 37 during the Aethiopian War.

Here the Cant. Z 506 i-LAMA taking off from the same lagoon for a transatlantic flight to Brasil in 1937:



and another picture taken during the war:

Mine is peterpro because my name is Petros (Peter in Greek) and pro because i am a pro in crashes!
 
Mine got me my grandfather when I started an HE-111 of the GCE (Spanish civil war), known as Peter, played by the artillery Republic after a bombing in Madrid and Republican fighter as my grandfather saw many of these during the entire war I said it was a broken (in Castilian that is not the same as Spanish is a nationality not a language), so bad that made ​​him think it was very easy to do for a child solo12 years.
 
My initials AC and I'm into 'planes. I was given the nick at 9 by my best friend, and we've stuck together through thin and thinner ever since.
 
I wanted to combine the names of two awesome planes and Spitstang didn't sound right. Kittycat was taken, though Wildhawk sounded pretty good. Zerscar just wasn't going to cut it. Tempicane? Fockeschmitt I didn't want to change the the rating of this sight from PG-13 to XXX. Hurrisquito........Nah, that wasn't gonna work. Beaupest, well you figure how well that would of worked. Gladiant....Oh, I don't know either. I finally decided on the King and Queen of the Pacific.
 
We hosted a wine and cheese party whereby my friends and I all promptly got very, very drunk, formed a cheese club and gave each other special cheese club names consisting of the first two initials of your name and...wait for it...a random type of cheese!

We don't get out much down here...
