Kevin (and all),
I wouldn't think air to air comm would go to Iridium. 
Iridium is similar to a (big and heavy) cellphone. 
AFAIK, it does not have a push-to-talk (PTT) feature. 
So, you have to enter somebody's number (which is
something like 13 digits) wait for the call to be
setup over the satellites, wait for the other person
to answer, then you can start talking.
As such, it doesn't lend itself to easily being used
in the cockpit of an airplane.
