seems strange that nobody seems to be using this forum any more,was thriving last year now all seems to of stopped. other forums are extremely active so i cant understand whats happened?
A few questions about aircraft terminology: First, what does "voodoo-1" mean when it is said in Top Gun?
Also in Top Gun, what does "alert-5" mean? Is 'alert' a location or a state of readiness? Does the "5" refer to a location or a specific plane, or a state of readiness? Is there, for example, "alert-3"?
Lastly, what is "Ghostrider" referring to? Is that a specific aircraft, or just any aircraft that the tower is talking to?
Are there any good websites that have aircraft terminology?
hi mark, i have recently joined this web site and have submitted a few questions and a few statements.. but as i am a total enthusiast and i just enjoy watching the skills of the pilots flying their aircraft nearby . and i try to identify them too...so i just enjoy reading what other people say. and some of the articles . i think it is a good web site though...
