Anyone remember the Far Side? There's one of a pilot on the radio saying, "Wait, wait. Cancel that. I guess it says 'Helf.'"

Rescue was made easier since the men were Micronesians, as opposed to Regular-sized Nesians.

HELP in English instead of International SOS? Glad it worked out for them. Well done P-8 crew.
