Fighter pilot abbreviations


RWC

Recommended Posts

I stumbled upon a great website with all the fighter pilot abbreviations, setup by a retired fighter pilot. 
Sure thing there are alot of terms used in the air- and ground force we don't even know about ! 
So here it is and i hope it will be a usefull tool for everyone.
Also, there are great podcasts available on different subjects going on in the air- and groundforce , like on the Supercarrier or with Air traffic control and much much more.

Was this really written by a fighter-pilot?

For "angels" it says "height of aircraft in thousands of feet" which is not correct. Should say "...friendly aircraft..."

What does Angels mean in military?
 
 
angels: refers to altitude measured in 1,000s of feet; angels 35 is equivalent to 35,000 feet.
