[edit] Flags in Infobox

The use of flag icons is not recommended by both WP:AIR and WP:MILHIST. In addition, the Infobox is not intended as a detailed list, merely an overview. Therefore, I propose ammending the "Launch platform" field to only list the aricraft, not the individial users. This information would then be moved to the operators list in the text, which currently only lists the countries. - BillCJ 16:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. - Aerobird 18:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fox Three

Text states: brevity code Fox Three in radio communication. Is this correct? Even if it is, we need a verifiable source. Thanks. - BillCJ 01:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

The Fox 3 call was originated with Phoenix and has been in use for 3 decades or more. AMRAAM has better range than Sparrow and terminal active capability like Phoenix so it qualified to also use the "Fox 3" radio call. Haven't seen it written down though, but I'll keep my eyes open for it. Cheers, HJ HJ 06:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I know I had read that the Phoenix was given "Fox 3", that's why I wanted confirmation on it now being used by the Amraam. Your word is good enough for me, but we still have to have weitten source. I'll check around and see if I can find anything also. - BillCJ 07:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Fox Three signifies an ARH guidance system, so Phoenix, and now AMRAAM both can use the reference. 141.213.198.251 08:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
