CAS I know this one! Calibrated Air Speed!
DCS (the "arm" switches the Six Million Dollar Man turned on just before he crashed)
LARS (Swedish guy?)
MAP (mist approach practice?)
ATS (a tough situation?)
CTR (caught turning right?)
CTA (clearly tough acronyms?)
LATCC (let all the chatter continue?)
SAM (surface to air missile?)
ACK (only half the anti aircraft fire?)
FAB (Lady Penelope)
