This page is dedicated to those who answered the call of their country, (here)especially to the pilots who I had the pleasure to support. Their great courage will never be understood, "l'est we never forget!"
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.
And the American Soldier.
Many have died for your freedom.
