Audio of an intercept of a Delta flight from Istanbul to JFK yesterday. Not sure why it happened, if anyone knows, please let us know.

From the Website: Delta failed to contact Maastricht Euro control UAC .

At the end both the F-16's say, "Switching safe." Was that a frequency change or was were they disarming their weapons? Any mil pilots care to chime in?

 

[Occam's Razor]

"Switches safe" is confirmation that the Master Arm is, indeed, off. Common call coming off a range, an intercept, a missle shoot, or when operating near some special aircraft.

The frequency change comes a second or two later on the tape..."Push 1-8" (Call to change to another preset channel)

The General WAS playing with himself and failed to hear the frequency change.

I like the part when they say the crew is waving? Hello?

last time I checked, Delta was based in Atlanta, and the General (Lee) was a car on the TV show Dukes of Hazzard, which takes place in the south.......

If it hurts your feelings, sorry, I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers Kream.
