F-16 intercept unidentified 737 over the Netherlands
Hmm.....
Hope I'm not interfering to much here, must admit I have not read most of the posts on this thread because quite frankly I find niggling quite boring.
Getting back to the gist of the original post, we all listen out on 121.5 (or should do) and I find that in Europe transmittions on that frequency occur regularly and on a daily basis and are occuring so often that one tends to turn the volume down to mange the distracion particularly when one is in the terminal areas. The Swiss and French airspaces are particularly bad.
121.5 is an Emergency Frequency and should be used as such.....
