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

If you scan through the 500+ posts, it appears we scrambled F-16s to intercepts an AFA flight from CDG to LAX. Freepers were onto it real-time, and (thankfully) it all ended without incident. We're now waiting to see if there are media reports of authorities arresting someone/some people from that flight......

I hand-built my first, a COSMAC ELF, from Radio Electronics magazine. Smoked it on the first power up. $350 worth of smoke. Then got one of the first 500 TRS-80 model, level 1 computers. The one with the fast-blow fuse potted in the power supply.

Had nothing to do with charitability, I thought you might be a re-tread.

I had one of those!! I had completely forgotten about that thing!!

Was my first taste of programing...back when I was 9 years old. Luckily...I'm doing the same thing for a living now...only on a little bit more powerful machines LOL! Was the best $100 educational investment my father ever made.

Can it really be as good as How Have We Become a Nation of Dumbies?

That one is untouchable in my book.

I had one of those! It was very disappointing, I couldn't get it to talk, or much of anything else. ;)

The plane landed at LAX, around 5:44 p.m. local time, instead of the scheduled arrival time of about 4:05 p.m. Several FReepers heard/saw the F-16's overhead.

'Escorted' would be a better word. When the shuttle (jeeze, I forgot the name) came in for its landing, a very similar thread was started. FR scooped every media source that sad day.

You bet "escorted" would have been better, since it would have been accurate.

I think this title was extremely misleading and in no way compares to the shuttle thread. No way.

I was eleven or twelve.

I vaguely remember programming it... very fond memories.

Upgraded to a Commodore and an Apple IIe shortly afterwards... Loved the Commodore. Never quite got that good with the Apple (It was my dad's "business" computer)...

What a great stroll through memory lane.
