U.S. Marine Fighter Pilot Chats with Iranian Air Defense Radar

I must be doing something wrong because all Im getting is a picture?

[Guest clownsdd]

read the words beside the picture.

[nightrunner]

I see words above the picture but none beside it. I dont see a conversation anywhere.

[BryanP]

Cute. Most likely made up, but funny nonetheless.

[TNTitan]

definitely fabricated.. but fun to read.

I could see it happening, but this story is a little too good to be true. Everyone knows that man will never fly. sheesh.

here you go guys:

Iranian Air Defense Radar

: 'Unknown aircraft at (location unknown), you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'

Aircraft

: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am not in Iranian airspace, I am in Iraqi airspace.'

Iranian Air Defense 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 Defense Radar

: (no response .... total silence)

Would never happen. A Marine pilot wouldn't announce he was in a fighter plane. Might call it a troop transport or something.
