During one JMC, we were refuelling a pair of F-4s. Our grumpy old navigator 'Uncle Chuckles' spotted a contact which I confirmed visually as a pair of FRADU Hunters - the 'enemy'. So we called the threat, the F-4s unplugged and whilst waiting for their MCS to fire up, Chuckles gave them initial snap vectors - he'd once been on AEW, although I can't remember whether that was on Shacks, Gannets...or Neptunes.

The Hunters were promptly despatched by a couple of AIM-9G Fox2s, then back came the F-4s to resume AAR!

Happy times - JMC was always guaranteed to involve chaotic control from Roger Waitout and his cronies!
