Pilot's Alphabet

If you ever got befuddled by the conversation between Air Traffic Controller and the pilot, and wondered what it meant, it is just that they use different kind of alphabet so that the person on the other hand can listen it carefully without errors. Pronunciation of every letter is replaced by a word sounding uniquely in whole set.

A - Alpha
B - Bravo
C - Charlie
D - Delta
E - Echo
F - Foxtrot
G - Golf
H - Hotel
I - India
J - Juliet
K - Kilo
L - Lima
M - Mike
N - November
O - Oscar
P - Papa
Q - Quebec
R - Romeo
S - Sierra
T - Tango
U - Uniform
V - Victor
W - Whiskey
X - X ray
Y - Yankee
Z - Zulu

That applies to numbers also.

1 - One
2 - Two
3 - Tree
4 - Four
5 - Fife
6 - Six
7 - Seven
8 - Eight
9 - Niner
0 - Zero

Here goes nothing.
