Default Its Official Mark C earned a name

I guess the proper protocol is you must earn a 'name,' or call sign if you will. Most are a result of events or circumstances that occur during the building or flying of our wonderful machines.

Well, now that my good friend and flying buddy, Mark Chamberlain, has had two engine out forced landings he has earned a name.

Hereto and henceforth, lets address Mark as "Glider." It has a nice ring to it, Mark "Glider" Chamberlain. So if you see the wild Englishman, congratulate him, first on a great flying job, and second, his new moniker.

Isn't that sort of like the three legged, one eyed dog named Lucky?

We already have a "Lucky" here is socal. Glider works, until you call up as "Glider Flight" People will wonder about gliders in formation.
