...nationalising an industry (or a bank) has never worked in the past. What makes him think it will work now.
Who will be the new Ghostbuster?
Rumour has it the Bill Murray wants a female to join the team in 'Ghostbusters 3'. any suggestions?
Somewhere in the Gulf....
In addition to communicating with the local air traffic control facility, aircraft are required to give the Iranian Air Defense Radar (military) a ten minute "heads up" that they will be transiting Iranian airspace. This is a common procedure for commercial aircraft and involves giving them your call sign, transponder code, type aircraft, and points of origin and destination.
This from a guy who overheard this conversation on the emergency frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai. The conversation went something like this...
Air Defense Radar: "Unknown aircraft at (location unknown), you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself."
Aircraft: "This a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace."
Air Defense Radar: "You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch an interceptor aircraft!"
Aircraft: "This is a United States Marine fighter. Send 'em up!"
Air Defense Radar: (no response ... total silence) and of course, no interceptor...............
