[BurbankKarl]

if you have a good scanner in So Cal, tune to 271.0, set it in AM mode and listen to Norad intercept Air France flight 68, due at LAX 515pm

two F16s from AZ current refueling off Pacific

Are the going to ask the frogs if they have any "Grey Poupon"?

[BurbankKarl]

I am just posting it....been happening several times a day....the Air France flights and the flight inbound from Mexico...

[Petronski]

Any update, Karl?

[Petronski]

If it is news.

Are you just reporting this because you heard something on a scanner or is this being reported by the news.

congratulations! you have passed the test to become a wire service reporter or news director of any major market broadcaster, where the motto is "we don't report, we repeat."

Post what you are hearing Karl..

[colorado tanker]

What are they doing, Karl? Verifying the assigned pilot is at the controls?

[McGruff]

Keep your ears on the scanner and your fingers on the keyboard.

What about Michael Jackson?

If there were three names that I wish I could have banished from all news from now on, it would be Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant and Scott Peterson.

Of course, that would kill 7/8ths of all Fox News features...

funny!

The French passangers will stage an immediate surrender dance.

"Do you know how many Frenchmen it takes to defend Paris?"

"Neither do I. It has never been tried."

[Viking2002]

So, we've been giving certain flights an armed 'escort' lately?

If you know that this is nothing unusual, they why the "Breaking News"

[krunkygirl]

ditto--another clever FReeper post!

[HairOfTheDog]

Perhaps that explanation, that they are regularly intercepting flights and that this is just another one, could have been some of the background info in your original post. Your Breaking News post doesn't give those kind of clues.
