Probably not true..........

....but still funny as hell.


In addition to communicating with the local air traffic control facility, aircraft are required to give the Iranian Air Defense Radar (military) a ten-minute "heads up" that they will be transiting Iranian airspace. This is a common procedure for commercial aircraft and involves giving them your call sign, transponder code, type aircraft, and points of origin and destination.

A guy recently overheard this conversation on the emergency frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai. It's too good not to pass along.

The conversation went something like this:

Air Defense Radar: "Unknown aircraft at (location unknown), you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself."

Aircraft: "This is a United States aircraft, and I am in Iraqi ---not Iranian--- 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 FA-18 fighter jet ...... Send 'em up! "

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

I think that story must be false.

Demonstrates way too much brains on the part of the Iranian air defense person.

 

[Demon 8]

Love it but at the same time its why everyone hates us

 

[Begood]

That's great! I'm sure quite a number of our pilots would like to respond like that. And then back it up, of course.:rock:

Bill.

 

[Black1]

Once we pull out of Iraq, it will be Iranian air-space. :dontknow:

 

[Begood]

[ntw0rk]

Funny shit right there!!!

 

[SilvrSRT10]

Can you imagine what the Iranian pilot would be thinking when told to go confront the F-18 Fighter Aircraft.

I can't find the keys to my plane.
I'm taking the scenic route.
Hell no you go confront him.
Can't we all just get along?

 

[Prof]

There is an old joke about a Kamikaze pilot...and the punch line is appropriate here...

When told what he was to do...his retort was: "Are you out of your F*%king Mind!?"

 

[viperhauler]

i love being F&%KING AMERICAN...you know, as much as i hate magazine ads, everybody's seen that one that says something like "when the world is counting on you, it's best to come prepared..." it's got the carrier in the center with some destroyers and the planes above....if i saw that coming...i'd sure as hell duck and run...

 

[trubuilt]

that is funny

 

[Texas Yellow Fever]

That's funny. Here's another one that's probably not true, but also funny as hell anyway...

Ya gotta love those Marines! California Highway Patrol vs. USMC. Top this
for a speeding ticket

Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar . One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill.

The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then it turned off and could not be turned on.

Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.

Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander. The reply came back in true USMC style:

Thank you for your letter. We can now complete the file on this incident.
You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down.

Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment location. Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position.

The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech. Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster.

Thank you for your concern. Semper Fi.
