First half of a 4v4 split freq USAF sortie gets up & checks in as 'Getsum 11-14'
Second half, not 10 minutes later, checks in as, you've guessed it, 'Getsum 11-14'.
The allocator shouted something along the lines of, "f**king useless banjo playing red necked *****" and immediately telephones the sqn Top 3.
'ah, ah, yep, really? Ok sir, get the second lot to rename as Stupid flight'
They did, without hesitation and even went to the tanker with it before coming back to Scampton. The eventual handover to Lon Mil was greeted with, "Did you say Stupid 11 flight?"
"Yes, they're Americans."
"Fair enough, let me grab a strip..."
