USMC Pilots

Attributed to a conversation a USMC F/A 18 pilot and a foreign air base.  May be just a story but it is still a true description of Marine Air.


Foreign Air Base: Unknown aircraft, you are in our airspace. Identify yourself.

F/A 18 Pilot: This is a United States aircraft enforcing the 'no-fly' zone.

Foreign Air Base: You are in our airspace.  If you do not depart our airspace, our aircraft will take-off to intercept you.

F/A 18 Pilot:  Send 'em up.  I'll wait.

Foreign Air Base: (silence)
