    Gotta love the RAF Back when and now...

    was an email forwarded from son: don't know if it's true but seemed worth posting even if it isn't. Should make anyone in Britain smile:

    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

    I'm sure there is multiple versions of it. They are all funny though...

    how about this one
    US Navy vs Canada


    This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio
    conversation of a U.S. naval ship with the Canadian
    authorities off the coast of Newfoundland October
    1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of
    Naval Operations10-10-95.

    Canadians:
    Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South
    to avoid a collision.

    Americans:
    Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the
    North.

    Canadians:
    Negative. You will have to divert your course 15
    degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

    Americans:
    This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again,
    divert YOUR course.

    Canadians:
    No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

    Americans:
    THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN. THE
    SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC
    FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE
    CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT
    YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY
    AGAIN,THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER
    MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF
    THIS SHIP.

    Canadians:
    We are a lighthouse, your call.
