The conversation went 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."
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!"
Air Defense Radar: (no response...total silence)
