Somehow, a fighter jock, with an aversion to the GIBS inherent to a Phantom or Tomcat or Wild Weasel, ought to be enough of a geardo to have a smart enough phone with a GPS to locate himself…
OTOH, why do I have this foreboding that sensors on an RPV just might lead to the crowning injustice?
Ahh the good old not knowing a general officer. Happened to me once before in civilian clothes he was a really great guy though and it all worked out. Just a reminder of keeping your bearing at all times never know who is there.
Been there…. done that!! Sometimes working avionics you can get in trouble on a radio, you learn to think REALLY fast…I’m talking lightspeed here. And you learn to kill power and bail out pretty darn fast too. Lots of places to hide in a cargo plane. ;P
There’s an old story: A student pilot practicing IFR realizes that he’s completely lost. Such is his state of mind that he accidentally hits the PTT for the radio rather than the intercom button, and says “Sir, I’m all fucked up.”
The ATC comes on the radio and says “Pilot using profanity on the radio: Identify yourself.”
Silence.
“Identify yourself!”
The instructor pilot in the back seat clicks the PTT and deadpans: “He said he was fucked up. Not stupid.”
Uh oh…Coffman is about to get his! Speaking of snow, did you guys happen to see that video of the 20 car pile-up in CO Springs?? It was spreading like wildfire on the internet!
Nice, one of those ‘oh crap’ moments.
Happy New Year to you, nice move Barbie claiming to be Coffman. I bet he was keyed into AWACS, Barbie ain’t that smart;-)
He is on the ground AWACS is useless they need the E-8 JSTARS

And now coffman is going to get an award for helping save the general lost in the snow storm…oh the irony!!!!!!
That was hilarious!!! Great job.
Words cannot describe the epic of this comic haha.
Yes, it would be impersonating an NCO. Burn, Barbie!
Oh, I can’t wait to see this unfold.

I think RobertM was planning ahead.
Gotta admit, Barbie was on the ball with that one, so to speak.
