I came here from the other AF, where I registered as C172. I kept it just incase anybody remembered (and didn't dislike) me from there. I just never really got along with too many folks out there.
Anyhow, C172 only came about, technically, because I couldn't come up with anything terribly clever. I am actually somewhat of an aviation buff, though, being the nephew of someone who works at Boeing, and being the son of somebody who always took me as a little kid down to the parking lot beside the main runway at SAN (Lindbergh Field, San Diego) to watch operations there.
So, C172 is derived from the Cessna 172, a very popular private single engine airplane. I could have maybe changed at some point to B787, since I have no family Cessna connection, but whatevs, as they say.
