One afternoon, a retired air force pilot and his family were driving through Texas on a vacation. They pass a road sign. One of the children remarks on the fact that the sign is named after a newspaper comic.

After about five minutes, they pass another sign, which reads, "Golf Road". As soon as they pass it, the man turns to his wife and says he knows what the next sign will say, and that he'll bet her twenty dollars that he's right. She agrees, and they drive on. After passing the next road sign, the wife finds that her husband is right, and hands him twenty dollars.

What did the last sign say and how did the man know?

Im pretty sure i know, since i'm an air cadet, i think the next street name is Hotel Street, and the street before is Foxtrot, why? beacause when communicating on the radio, instead of using letters, pilots say the alphabet in a special way, like this, alpha bravo charlie delta echo FOXTROT GOLF HOTEL and so on, i hope i get this right :)
