It is nice of the US DOD to provide the UK with Long Range SAR service even at the risk of offending a few of their hosts by doing do.
We have to admit the one thing a few Brits really are not good at is eating Humble Pie.....especially if it involves some Spam.
The fact Long Range SAR is a secondary Mission for the USAF as their primary duties are CSAR and SpecOps work.
What we all have to remember is we are all on the same side in this and our Military have different capabilities and sharing those when needed is what it is all about.
I take my Hat off to all the SAR crews no matter what Uniform they wear or what Aircraft they fly. They all do great work.
