I wanted an Italian word on mine that I hoped the general public might be able to figure out the meaning of. My brother has CIAO on his 748.

I came up with the idea of VOLARE. It means "to fly." I figured most everyone has heard the old song Volare' from the '60's. Also, one of my favorite posters is an old one of a 916 in an old Italian villa setting surrounded by Di Vinci works and underneath it says Volare' senz' ali, meaning "to fly without wings." Cool, WAY cool!

Anyway, turns out many HAVE heard the song but nobody knew what the word means.

I've since switched to the name I'm known for throughout cyberspace, AK DUC. I like advertising Alaska when I travel Stateside.

Good luck, Mark H.
