Fido · 06-24-10, 01:38 PM

Fido is a shortened version of my early flightsim nick CFSFIDO. In real life if flew a Piper Cub for fun, but always wanted to fly a Spitfire or F-86 Sabre, so in Flight Sims my dreams came true. I was a member of an on line squadron of F-86D pilots, the aircraft was sometimes known as a SabreDog, so we all had canine related nicks.("Fido" is a common name for a pet dog) in case you are from out of town.

Over time I just dropped the CFS and started using Fido. As a subsimmer Fido has a different meaning, it refers to a Mark 24 passive acoustic anti-Submarine torpedo from WWII, so it still fits, well sort of.

Good Hunting
