19. It means ''ghost''
It's is an old Scot word for ghost, spelled all kinds of ways. It is also the source for boogieman.

Bogey = presumed hostile
Bandit = known hostile

21. Correction:
A bogey is unconfirmed. Confirmed hostiles are "bandits".


So I'm an avioation geek, sue me.

Whatever context you provide.

Please, give us a paragraph of your thoughts, instead of just a subject line and an emoticon. Share with us. :)

5. little ditty about Comet
"Comet. it makes your hair turn green
Comet. It makes your eyes turn green.
Comet. It makes you vomit
So get some Comet
and vomit
today."

Done to the tune of the march (is it Sousa or King) "Colonel Bogey" which is also the tune they whistle in "Bridge over the river Kwai."

7. Unidentified aircraft
If IFF reports "foe," it's a "bandit."

22. *twitch* "Take the tow-line, defective equipment, no more, no less..."
"...But they encouraged the crew to go around, scoffing at me and spreading wild rumors... Ah, but the strawberries! That's, that's where I had them!"

Da actor, for sure. :thumbsup:
