I have VietNam era F-4 (Navy Phantom) pilot friend that tells of flying in the same space with an EA-6B (or maybe it was an E-2 Hawkeye?) and they were joking about cababilities.

The 6B jock asked my friend his call sign....and immediately his radar screen went blank as his callsign was spelled out on its face.

Make that an EA 3B.

Stupid thing for the op in the AWACS plane to do, but still funny.
