On a training mission a Tornado was Asked whether it had reached a certain point, when the British pilot Replied that he was still over MMFD. As time went by many American Pilots heard the location repeated and looked desperately on their maps But couldn't find the area designated MMFD. They thought it could be the KKMC for King Khaled Military City or the KFC for Kentucky Fried Chicken But all was permanently discounted. Eventually through a Brit pilot they Came to know that MMFD stood for "miles and miles of fucking desert'. (Adapted from Frederick Forsyth's The Fist of God)*
