Definitions

Pilot brevity code for an aircraft that's been positively identified as hostile. The escalation goes bogey (unknown) to bandit (confirmed enemy) to hostile (cleared to engage). Cleaner than yelling 'enemy plane' on a packed frequency, and leaves no ambiguity about whether trigger fingers should be twitching.
“Two bandits, three o'clock low, engaging.”
