We'd fly around for a couple couple hours a hundred miles out in a Baron and the F-16's would come find us.
Funny thing is that we never saw them, but they had us in their sights.
The CAP didn't own any twin engine aircraft so we used member aircraft. As these were approved and budgeted Air Force training missions the owners would be reimbursed by the Air Force upon presentation of documentation and an invoice.
As it turns out, the Feds are a slow pay.
I flew on one such missions out of Minot. We departed and flew over Western Canada. We refueled over the Northwest territory and flew out over the Arctic Ocean. We remained outside the Radar coverage until all aircraft were assembled. we then turned south and attacked Alaska, the BMEWS site at Clear AFS and then Fairbanks.
After flying south and exiting Alaska territory we flew south and then attacked Seattle. There were over 120 aircraft involved and we were shot down twice! this was a 16 ass hour flight, (how you measured your endurance!)
