I'll Wait

My dad sent this to me over email.

I have no idea of its veracity, but if it's true, this is awesome stuff:

The conversation below was overheard on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai:

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.'

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

Aircraft: 'This is unknown aircraft United States Marine Corps FA-18. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'

Air Defense Radar: (no response)
