On a Mission years ago in heavy fog, one of our Ground Team members thought they heard cries for help. Naturally, all other assets were vectored their way. The distant call for help turned out to be a "Moo" instead of a "moan". We suggested that all cows be equipped with CLT"s ( Cow Locator Transmitters, i.e., "Cow bells") Henceforth, Cow bells were known to all involved as "CLT's"

More Cowbell.  I'm surprised it doesn't have a snorkel set.

Just so we're clear, when I joked about the "SAR Tomato" earlier, we had a lady in MI Wing years ago who had that same basic vintage Suburban in a fire-engine red color. And it was loaded with various Scotchlite decals _ALL_OVER_ with the name of their non-CAP SAR outfit and all kinds of other goofy stuff.

She would roll this thing into a mission base and we'd all go "Look! Its the SAR TOMATO!"

Driven by a very fat, mustachioed guy that needs a bath, and a haircut. He's probably wearing a ball cap from one of the highspeed organizations that he belongs to (fire police, or something) and has a badge clipped to his belt that he makes sure is prominently displayed by twisting his hip in your direction, or (shudder) face if you're sitting...

I can't even imagine the signal bleed...I guess he really took Show-Me too literally.
