Send 'em up
« on: December 27, 2009, 06:47:19 AM »
This conversation was overheard on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai . It's too good not to pass along..



The conversation went like this...



Iranian Air Defense Radar: 'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'



Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'



Air Defense Radar: 'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'



Aircraft: 'This is a United States Marine Corps FA-18 fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'



Air Defense Radar: (no response .... total silence)



God bless our troops.
