OK war story time! I was working as tower supvr at Eglin in the early 80s. We had a flight of 5 Aggressors (F-5s) taxing out. Lead asked GC something and GC didn't understand the request or question. Lead Mig (Mig their call sign) then proceeds to go off on the GC. We're all stunned in the tower cab. The SOF on duty (O-5 F-15 type) heard it too. He told GC to send have Mig flight to come up SOF frequency. Mig lead was ordered by the SOF to taxi back to the ramp, just him, while the rest of the flight was told to proceed onto their destination. Couldn't believe it but was very impressed by the SOF's action.
