First off, why "fox"? "Fire one" - "F- One" - "Foxtrot One"- "Fox

one"?

seeker, and "Fox 3" for guns. Is this generally correct?


I thought the call when firing guns was "guns, guns, guns". Or is it only in
movies and videogames?...

Fox 1 is usually taken to be a Sparrow/AIM-7 shot; Fox 2 is Sidewinder;
Fox 3 in the F-14 community is the Phoenix/AIM-54, while in the AF with F-15,16,
and soon to be F/A-22, and the Navy/Marine F/A-18 communities, Fox 3 is the
AMMRAM/AIM-120 shot.
They usually call guns, guns, guns, when shooting their Vulcans.
