Actually "Fox 1" is a radar missle away, "Fox 2" is a heat seeking missle away.

"Bogey" is an unidentified aircraft as opposed to "Bandit" which is definately a bad guy.

And "call the ball/roger ball" is USN, not USAF.

well, there's the whole NATO alphabet that you can use. I don't know if that's what you're asking for. Stuff like "alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo, foxtrot, golf, hotel, india, juliet, kilo, lima, mike, november, oscar, papa, quebec, romio, siera, tango, uniform, victor, whiskey, x-ray, yankee, zulu....niner, fower, fife...

Hope that helps
