Been hearing the helitacs b4 take of giving the code IRENE- jus like in Black Hawk Down. Im wondering exactly what it means, its got something to do with taking off. Maybe its aviation code for something?
I've flown with navy and RAAF chopper pilots and, unlike pilots from civilian backgrounds, some would say 'rising' or 'coming up' on the intercom as they were about to lift off.
