In addition to communicating with the local Air Traffic Control facility, all aircraft in the Persian Gulf AOR are required to give the Iranian Air Defense Radar (military) a ten minute 'heads up' if they will be transiting Iranian airspace.
This is a common procedure for commercial aircraft and involves giving them your call sign, transponder code, type aircraft, and points of origin and destination. I just flew with a guy who overheard this conversation on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe toDubai . It's too good not to pass along. The conversation went something like this... " Iranian Air Defense Radar: 'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace Identify yourself..' Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.' Iranian Air Defence Radar: '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!' Iranian Air Defence Radar: no response ... Total silence ========================================= You might have seen this before but I liked it enough to show it again. SEABEE'S "CAN DO", "HAVE DONE", AND WILL DO SO FOREVER. GOD BLESS AMERICA |

There are a lot of funny things going between ATCs and aircraft.
How come I pressed "One for English" and still can't understand a word the dude is saying? |

And you know this how? Any reason that you felt the need to call it fake? I've heard some very interesting radio traffic in my years in the military and later the government. How 'bout you? Don |

Marc, thanks, ignore the poster, "fake story"
Keep smiling, everyone will wonder what you've been up to! |

I'll tell you something. Anyone that expects all the anecdotes posted here to be true is making a sad mistake. Read it, enjoy it but don't assume all you read is gospel. "http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a123/Samualclemmons/?action=view¤t=uss_montana-1.flv" Is it real, no. Is it fun, yes. How come I pressed "One for English" and still can't understand a word the dude is saying? |

Liberal90, there are some "fake" stories that are harmful, such as stories that cross the line into libel and slander, or insult a demographic, or are posted with the intent of causing a verbal cat-fight on the boards. This really isn't one of them.
Fake or not, it's funny. The only "commentary" it makes is that a Marine FA-18 fighter is tough stuff, and nobody with a lick of sense would be dumb enough to get into a scuffle with one. Fake? Maybe. Funny? Sure! Harmful? Only to the ego of the Iranian Air Defenders. |

That is just plain funny as heck. I guess Liberal90 just don't get the military sense of humor. Looking at the profile and the name itself, chances are hadn't been nowhere and done nuttin'.

You made the claim, now prove it's fake!  Jet Jocks are not up there to run from encounters, and will seldom do so unless ordered out ("Knock it off and bugout! RTB!") by their Controller or Lead Pilot - - Wandering and Wondering |

I've always been fond of this (absolutely false) story since it first appeared:

Unfortunately, these kinds of incidents take place world wide all the time -
An "Ilyushin IL-38 maritime patrol aircraft" is an attempt to copy out P-3 down to the rivets, and is anti-ship/sub capable: Russian  American  Don't forget the Russian shoot down of the Japanese airliner full of people, the Chinese force down of one of our P-3 spy craft, and the American shoot down of an Iranian airliner full of people by one of our Aegis Cruisers, who mistook it as an attacking Iranian F-14 - - Global examples of "Playing Chicken" happen all to often - - Wandering and Wondering |
