Forum Name Change

Hey Simmers,
Just a quick note and explanation on the new name change for my forum user name...
Over the years I've had numerous forum nicknames as I've gone from casual forum member user, through early stage of development to now building scenery for the FS community...
I thought it was time to start standardizing my username across all the various forums and blog sites and thought I should explain the new username...
My background is actually in both aviation and also professional film and t.v. production... I worked on TV shows such as Flipper (The New Adventures), CSI Las Vegas, Beastmaster, The Lost World, Big Brother Australia and made for TV movies such as Silent Predators, and theatrical movies such as Swimming Upstream and Hildegarde. I also worked professionally at KLASTV (CBS/CNN/UPN/Las Vegas 1) and KTNV (ABC) in Las Vegas as both camera operator and news editor...
I also learned to fly in the Royal Australian Air Force cadets where I was nicknamed "Shadow" and later, while working in Hollywood was nicknamed "Aussie"...
In light of the fact that I have both worked in Hollywood and also I worked alongside of Whip Hubley on Flipper, who many will know as "Hollywood" from the movie Top Gun and also given my FS2004 work on the Top Gun Tomcats package it seems that the name =Hollywood= would make sense as an FS nickname and is one that I can keep standard across all forums now...
So in short that's what the name change is all about, how the name came into being and also helps define both my role in the FS world as well as my film work as well...
I know you're not supposed to give yourself a nickname in aviation, but my other old nicknames just didn't seem appropriate...
Cheers,
Dean.
