Bet you've never seen a biplane with a jet engine before.

"This is air space that is restricted. People can't fly in there. If they do, then they might find themselves escorted out,"

I'd go ahead and use the verbiage 'escorted DOWN'.

Does this mean we will have 'enemy' aircraft over Detroit. Oh, wait! The conservative won. "No, it's okay; they're our planes now." (Ron Silver, 1992 Clinton inaugural)

They're about the only Jets that are going to see a Super Bowl for the foreseeable future.

"If there is an aircraft or a blip that's not on our file flight plan, they can send the aircraft to intercept and identify it."

The fuel tanker full of C-4, naturally, won't file a flight plan.

I sure do think all of this "response to terrorism" is ill-concieved. Looks mostly like the Propaganda Ministry in high gear for the benefit of chickens.

U.S. and Canadian fighter jets were scheduled to be roaring overhead, running exercises simulating a terrorist attack on next month's Super Bowl XL.

Why are US and Canadian jets going to attack the Super Bowl?

Poorly worded news.

So will the Canadian Navy bring its boat down to patrol the Detroit River?

(Just kidding!)

Which means that it's obviously unauthorized. Reading Is Fundamental.

I wonder what this will cost per fan? A lot more than the regular rent-a-cops.

Maybe the sponsors and the NFL would pick up the tab for us. Ha, ha!

Taking bets on the liklihood that some pinhead student pilot doesn't get the memo.

That will be the claim. The reality is that the pilot will read the memo and decide that it must not apply to him 'cuz he's SPECIAL.
