Back in March the Iranians sent a fighter to within 16 miles of a USAF drone operating in international airspace, but were shown off by a US fighter. As it turns out, the US fighter was an F-22… which apparently got *real* close to the Iranian F-4 Phantom II by flying up underneath it. After getting a good look at the F-4’s weapon load, the F-22 pilot  “pulled up on their left wing and then called them and said ‘you really ought to go home.'”

Snerk.

UPDATE: Someone on Fark has a photo of the event:

And someone else had a partial transcript of the conversation…

“Allah. Allah! ALLAH!!!”

“WHAT?!?”

“Danger zone…”
