Enemy aircraft?[edit]

Definition 6 defines a bogey as an enemy aircraft. This is incorrect. A 'bogey' is an unidentified aircraft while an enemy aircraft is called a 'bandit'.

Wiktionary also records mis-use of terms, as here, but I agree that the misunderstanding should not come before the real and original meaning. I've made a modification, combining the two definitions. I hope this helps. Dbfirs 22:27, 4 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Pronunciation[edit]

(See no pronunciation) I am not sure if my pronunciation addition to this article is correct. --NoToleranceForIntolerance (talk) 23:05, 16 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Proper referencing[edit]

Made edit and wanted to add a reference to this URL: https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN32045-ATP_1-02.1-001-WEB-3.pdf (see pg. 18), which gives the proper definition of the word "bogey" as used by the US military. Was unable to add the reference in a way that worked "correctly" Tried using 'cite web' extension - didn't parse correctly, thought the article title hadn't been provided; tried the <ref> and <references> extension but added references in a way that's not compatible with existing footnotes in the page. 72f1469a (talk) 14:06, 12 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

@72f1469a: Thank you very much for that excellent citation! The formatting here is very non-standardized but I felt it important to get it into the article, so I put it in as a new "Notes" section using {{refn}}/{{reflist}} which someone can come along and standardize in the future. --Struthious Bandersnatch (talk) 20:42, 16 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
