AUGUST 14TH, 2004

Authorities are planning to stage an airborne anti-terror training exercise Saturday evening in the skies above Manhattan.

The drill begins at 6 p.m. and will involve F-15 fighter jets, along with coast guard and NYPD helicopters.

The training exercise is in preparation for the upcoming Republican National Convention.

The drill is designed to test how quickly air defenses can respond to an attack at Madison Square Garden.

There have been several terror drills in the city in the past year.

In May, about 1,000 first responders took part in a terror training drill in a Manhattan subway station.

Boy, were we ever lucky!

I will do a few updates tonight, and try to scrounge up some addresses where people can make donations.

Funny thing: Today, we got more rain than all of yesterday, and there have been tornado warnings all day.
