FRENCH BANTER

Somewhere near the Loire valley...

A high-pitched voice, panting, over the "Auto-Info" low level common freq. obviously belonging to a young FAF stude in Basic training flying the Epsilon from Cognac tries to broadcast its position and direction, as he should do every 5 minutes:

"Heuhhh, .....Rafiot Mike, .... an Epsilon, heuhhhh.....South of..... South of...... XXXXXX (small village that nobody knows...) heading....... heuhhhhhh...... 290°...... toward ...........toward......"

An anonymous, low, manly and ironical voice (probably belonging to a Navy Super-Etendard or Crusader driver) says:
"So, Son, are you lost ?"

The AF instructor in the backseat of the "Zebulon" says firmly with an upset voice, but also to teach the student in the front seat:
"Rafiot Mike - an Epsilon - 20 NM South of Poitiers heading 290° - toward Nantes - 500' AGL - 1022"

The previous low voice says very coldly:
"You see, Son, you're not lost."
