I just got this in my email and thought it worth sharing. Thanks to all out there that serve.
A conversation 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)

Yeah, that's a good one for all of us "nationalistic" eagles. I had heard that before but it made me feel good to read it again. I served with Marines that were in the aviation field when I was in the Navy, nothing but professionals all the way.
