Comments & discussion from Outdoor People:
Dude, that video is hysterical.
But crazy man says z for zebra, and the list here says zulu. Which one's right?
He seems to be talking about the aviation phonetic alphabet. Perhaps that explains the difference in the "z" for zebra vs. "z" for zulu in the marine alphabet.
