how long would it take a jet from Tyndel AFB to intercept a plane out of Atlanta?

Exactly what I was thinking! You sure some TSA Agent wasn’t planning the intercept?

Tyndall is up in the panhandle. I assume the plane was farther West than Atlanta. Not that far plus Tyndall has a couple of squadrons of F-22’s.

A 15 or 22 on burner? About 10 to 12 minutes. Within AMRAM range 5 to 7 minutes. Air Force guys, I’m just guiessing...whay say you?

About five minutes if he needed to.

I’m a survivor of the Cuban Crisis; Tyndall never had so many planes on the tarmac.
