Let's see... I think that 'No Joy' means that no target was aquired during a
search operation by a fighter pilot (scenario: Ground controller:
'target .5 km ahead, angels 45'. Pilot: 'No joy').

Others that I've read about:
	'Tally Ho!' - In general, used to mark fighter responsibilities
		among wingmen and to acknowledge an attack order. 
		I recall that some fighter competitions were called
		'tally ho' in the '60s or '70s.
	'Below bingo' - condition of a thirsty fighter prior to air
		refueling. (does anyone know what 'bingo' means?).

Does anyone else here watch ABC's "Call to Glory" TV show? They really seem
to be making an effort at a quality series about life in the USAF test
area in the '60s. Even though you almost always have to sit through each
show's 'human interest' side, the flying and technical side of the series
is miles (clicks?) ahead of anything recent. Come to think of it, even
the 'human interest' side of each show is better than usual for TV -
problems that almost might happen to normal people in everyday life.
It's also just about they only series that includes a husband/wife
relationship with children and daily problems and career struggles and
neighbors and plausible plot lines and...
