An Israeli air force Helicopter was sent to rescue a wounded sailor off an Israeli Navy ship in the Mediterranean. The mission took longer than expected and the Helicopter was running dangerously low on fuel. Spotting an American carrier the pilot immediately landed on it. When asked what the hell he though he was doing he replied, "I thought it was one of ours".
(for those that didn't get it right away, Israel doesn't have any carriers)
