REMF version:

A PAC team of E-2's bring 1,000 DA4187's to the terroists and tell them that if they are not filled out correctly the ransom can't be paid. While the terrorists are distracted by the clerks, a team of cooks substitute government rations for the airline food which has the unexpected result of having the terrorists gorge themselves on it since it was accidentally a step up. This results in the terrorists becoming lethargic due to constipation. Army maintenance personnel are then presented to pull maintenance on the aircraft for the continued safe flight...(bahahahaha!), the resulting mountain of 2404's are cleverly stacked as a defensive position for the real rescue team (who are not coming since their travel orders sent them to Korea instead). Prior to departing the area to obtain parts, the maintenance personnel fill the plane's fuel tanks with mogas. Finally the supply personnel board the aircraft with all of the terrorists demands packed into huge, cumbersome crates while simultaniously packing the hostages into other huge, cumbersome crates. No one remembers which crates carry what or who. The terrorists are so frustrated with the system that they voluntarily leave the aircraft and go home. Half of the hostage crates are mistakenly shipped to Korea to meet up with the waiting rescue element and the other half of the hostages starve to death in their crates, waiting to be unpacked. The aircraft never moves since the maintenance personnel can not complete the full PMCS prior to any of their ETS dates.

The SEALS insist on a HALO/SCUBA insertion even though the aircraft is in the middle of the desert. They stop just shy of the target and redo their sexy face camo and do-rags. No two SEALS carry the same weapon and plenty of pictures are taken for the forthcoming books that they will write about their experiences.

The team then walks right down the middle of the tarmac where 4 of them are seriously wounded, the terrorists are killed but before they can give up any good intel. The hostages are freed...group photo is taken for the forthcoming books...The SEALS insist on leading the survivors out on foot instead of exfiling by helo...better for the book that will eventually be made into a movie.

Plane is blown up so it can't be recaptured by terrorists and because it will make book more exciting.After mission all SEAL team members involved write books about operation as well as 23 SEAL wannabes who watched story on History Channel.[][]
