If you’ve ever hung out with military aviators (or watched movies like “Top Gun” or “Iron Eagle”) you know they tend to use a lot of strange lingo when they talk, even when they’re out of the cockpit. Trying to hold a conversation with them can be tough — until now. WATM presents this handy list of fighter speak that will help keep that social interaction going, which is important because fighter guys have a lot of wisdom to put out and it would be a shame if it got lost in translation.

My neighbor(F8 driver with over 2000 hours and two mig kills)one of my wife's classmates( Air Force pilot)and myself (6 deployments with F4s and F14s)were talking at the dining room table. My brother in law,who was setting with us, asked us to change the conversation from airplanes to anything else so he could understand what we were talking about.

Actually it is what the game of Bingo should be called. One person says bingo and the rest say "oh shit"

Capt (Join to see) - Well Capt, that may be but I can tell you right now that that is what I said right before a drunk driver hit me head on in my State Police cruiser back in 1988 on St Patrick's Day! "Ohhhhh Shit"!

Yep it covers a lot of things. Some even good such as I won the lottery.
Glad you are able to talk about that day and crash.

Capt (Join to see) - So am I Capt and thanks. I broke my neck, among other injuries, in two places and they said that I would never walk again. I was laid up for three years but in the end, I beat their odds! That is why I have that WTF attitude.
