It takes two to tango in the air combat business, so you need a wingman. Or three. Or sometimes more. The wingman is a pilot of another plane whose job is to cover his or her lead's six o'clock--behind him--in an attack, and provide witty banter or, occasionally, someone to rescue. The wingman (or woman) will often have a contrasting personality to the Ace Pilot. They may also be wearing a red flightsuit. Many wingmen themselves may be aces, especially if they fly in a target-rich environment. Examples of Wing Man include:

The wingman (or woman) will often have a contrasting personality to the Ace Pilot. They may also be wearing a red flightsuit. In multi-player video games involving fighters, you can get a wingman as a given. Other games feature AI wingmen. They may utter the phrase "I Got You Covered!" Generally has nothing to do with Winged Men. Compare Guy in Back, when a pilot has a companion sharing the same plane - for example, a navigator or radio operator. Since the F-4 Phantom II and F-14 Tomcat, two of the coolest planes around, are two-seaters, it's common to get a "four in two" group of characters.
