What made you pick your avatar & username?

My username Vana2 is from my surname, "van der Aa" which my friends shorted to "Van" and the "a2" is a play on the "Aa".

Vana2 is the handle I use when flying my WW2 air combat simulation online and I have carried it across to other forums, been using it for decades. 

My avatar is Wuzzy, the dust-bunny that lives with Fuzzy under The Big Comfy Couch - a children's TV show that I watched with my daughter. I was given Wuzzy when my daughter out grew the characters and he has been my mascot and now avatar ever since.

In 2014 I bought an Impact Air RM100 .20 caliber from AOA, turned out the gun was a basket case from new, instead of sending it back to Az. I took it to David Slade, his shop was an hour south of me, (AOA was fantastic supplying the needed parts and the story had a happy ending not the least was meeting Mr. David Slade), it took two trips to Airgun Werks to get the RM 100 working correctly, when I would call to inquire about it I would say "this is the RM100GUY" so he would know who it was...he had guns stacked from floor to ceiling from all over the world...it was a privledge to meet him and see his workshop...Mr. Slade is a true English gentleman and a true master airgun smith! The photo is a "Navy Veteran" hat my wife bought for me at the WW2 museum in New Orleans, (Made in the USA)!
