You have to love it...

Postby Flying Trucker » Sat Apr 28, 2012 10:47 am

Goodly afternoon all... :)


-----The RAF--------where balls count !!
 
Conversation overheard on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai ...

Iranian Air Defence Site:   
'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.' 

Aircraft: 
'This is a British aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.' 

Air Defence Site: 
'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!' 

Aircraft: 
'This is a Royal Air Force GR4 Tornado fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!' 

Air Defence Site:   ( ..... total silence) 

I love the RAF
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I have heard similar conversations on 121.5/243.0 - they happen more often than people think in that area, generally in the following format

"you're in our airspace"

"no we're not"

"yes you are"

"no we're not"

etc etc. Until the Iranian gets bored or the American goes away!

Probably a true conversation. Certainly not a Tornado GR4 though. That wouldn't hang around for anything being a very non air to air combat bomber! ;D

The tornado is a multi-role fighter.
Even tyough it is specialised in air to ground combat from the looks of its arnament....

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

In case you were wondering, this is actual footage of 'Mr C' and his friends, Alpha, Bravo and Delta... Charlie is the one with the moustache
