Wingman Messages:

     You will hear messages from your wingman, other allied
pilots, and from the AWACS plane during a campaign or Red Flag
mission.  Sometimes they will be in response to an inquiry or
command from you and other times they will just let you know what
they are doing.  These messages will only come from other pilots in
your flight, and they are not random messages.  They indications
and observations from your wingmen that they want you to hear.

You will hear these messages if you are using a Soundblaster card,
an Ad Lib card, or the IBM PC speaker.  You must have EMS to hear
these sounds.


This is a list of the messages you may hear and what they mean.
