I just got an email from a friend that I had to share. I cut and pasted but the picture of the jet is missing. I guess this happened very recently.




Love it! This has got to be one of the greatest quotes of all time.
I thought this might make you smile. :-)

...conversation overheard on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai




Iranian Air Defense Site: 'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'
Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'
Air Defense Site: '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 Site: ( .... total silence)


God bless our troops.
There is something about a Marine that makes other countries listen to reason.

I enjoyed that!

Whatever else people may say , the whole world knows we make great planes and great pilots to drive them.

For Centuries they used to say "Britania Rules the Waves". Now no one will deny that "America Rules the Sky" :)

and the ocean..

Although funny it's not real.

Boogers probably correct.

While funny, not too likely.

No kidding. Sorry. You can remove this if you want.

Yup, fake! I feel pretty stupid now. I did a quick search and this same thing came up on a few other aviation boards as fake. I'm really sorry guys. Next time I'll be more careful.

Good one MC, put a smile on my face. :btu:

True or not that IS the reponse and respect our enemies should take if
messing with our Armed Services.

nothing to be sorry for i laughed. Love to see mr ahmaahama get wasted.

i found this funny, thanks for the post! and for some reason i could see a trigger happy JarHead saying that.

whether or not it's real is of no consequence

the truth is they wouldn't stand a chance

Ahmeanajihad knows we can write his name
on the side of a missile

followed by "bye BYE" and it'll be a done deal

I vote to make it real, really. Very funny, thank you.

About as real as that old reported exchange between an USN Admiral on a carrier, and a USCG petty officer on a lighthouse, but still funny.
