In fact it probably never did happen.
Every Navy and AF pilot on guard would have heard this live on the radio, the same as the Greek Pilots supposedly did.

We have reporters crawling all over our armed forces in the Middle East.
No way it could be kept quiet.

People in the State Department bend over for Turkey and provide the vaseline. Where have you been?
