8.M.M.F.D.
'During the first Gulf War, the USAF and the RAF had the same
maps and
communication was very informal. 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'.
