Another wise old AEO used to say...
TOFO - can't possibly be correct. You are implying that there was more than one wise AEO!!?

Classic TP (Failed as ATC officer because he couldn't deal with radars - so he became an AEO!) radio call to HMS Trafalgar:

Trafalgar: A6D this is Trafalgar - copied your last and that is us flushing till time 1100.

TP: Trafalgar this is A6D. Confirm you're fishing until 1100?

and while I'm on a roll....

Tac nav has the submarine 1 mile south of Difar 27 tracking 358 degrees at 6 knots. AEO?

pause while AEO does the usual maths in his head...

AEO concurs with your position - sub tracking 368 degrees at 7 knots!

Fun times.........
