"Two Tangos - 38 degrees Northwest"


seems like Hollywood gibberish to me. If I guess the context...

Tango shouldn't be plural and, like you, 38 degrees isn't Northwest.

OTOH.... has this anything to do with dance?


Tango equals target. SpecOp speech.

I was thinking about this last night and what I think they meant was
"Two Tangos - Northwest at 9 o'clock high" 9 o'clock high would be
about 38 degrees.

Of course, nothing like reality in a TV drama eh, what?
