Being my 3rd week I'm still having a tough time following all the Aces High secret lingo and acronyms. Is there a web page with all the terms defined so I can stay intune to all the "chog" talk? Thanks.

My site has most of the radio jargon documented for anyone to read. I added some new items to text calls yesterday to bring it up to snuff. Along with a master list of the calls so you don't have to bounce around between pages. You can hit the direct link below or punch the link in my sig to get at it. My site is in frames so if you want to read other pages you'll have to use the link in my sig.

Got one more for you. What about the acronyms for all the buildings and targets? Its tough to understand whats what with all the two letter terms.

Acronyms for buildings and targets? Here's a short list:

FH = Fighter hangar
VH = vehicle hangar
BH = bomber hangar
CV, TG = carrier group
v-base, v-field = vehicle field

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Oh, before I forget here's an acronym to remember: iirc. "If I recall correctly" is what it means.
