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)

God bless our troops.

Hope that the picture of a F/A-18 show up as well

Second try. Not only did the picture not show up. It didn’t line wrap either.

Thanks for the visual. For personal reasons the F/A-18 is my favorite form of military aircraft.

Thanks for the chuckle.

Line-wrapped or not, that made me proud!
