Good grief; first off, I think the avation term is the one that most readily comes to mind. Secondly, if there's really that big a distinction, why not create two entries; Wingman (aviation), and Wingman (term)?

--Further, the link at the bottom seems like a bit of shameless promotion.

The bit about the rock band is not relevant to the subject, if the band is notable enough it should be given its own article. I've deleted the sentense. Dept of Alchemy 10:30, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thach Weave

Doesn't this concept have a LOT to do with the Thach Weave?

Wingman Article needs more depth

Is anyone else amused by the fact that the article about "Wingman" in terms of social interaction is far more in-depth than the article about "Wingman" in an aviation sense?

Apparently, the "social interaction" part got taken out. I think that there needs to be a "Wingman (disambiguation)" page. Outside of military circles the term is more commonly known as a guy who's got your back at the bar while picking up women. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.8.0.127 (talk) 04:18, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance of possibly fleshing this out, ie: explaining what a Wingman does to support the lead pilot, things like that?--Raguleader 20:10, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wingman Social Interaction

Someone who helps a male make romatic advances or deception upon a female in order to get a date, commonly used phase on "How I Met Your Mother" by the character Barney. See the Dilbert Comic reference to the term at the following link:
