The military scrambled two F-16 fighters jets Friday morning after two small private aircraft violated restricted air space related to President Barack Obama's visit to Las Vegas, Nevada, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said.

Both planes that violated the restricted airspace landed at nearby airports and were met by authorities, NORAD said.

If they were big campaign contributors in 2007-08, they won't have any problem.

Took a while but it all worked out.

Glad to hear that, as it's getting lonely when you get away from controlled airspace.

BTW, your cousin is in good company flying Piper Cubs. Todd Palin owns one and Piper Palin is named after them I think. :) I bet Sarah has spent time in them. At one time, it could be said that 1 in 10 Alaskans had their pilot's license.

To: Errant; C210N

**I’m pretty sure a F-16 can get to or a little below 100 kts. A speed well below the cruise of a C210 which is almost twice that.**

Well, just ‘dirty it up’ w/flaps/gear dropped for ‘over the fence’ speed of about 70 knots. That would be safe compliant behavior, and you would get to watch the jet fly circles even longer.

No terrorist would attack Obama .. he is doing too much to help them right now.

Why would they attack someone on their own side?

That photo was taken during the 2008 campaign. It was a large group shot I picked up off the net, and I cropped it so the t-shirt was the subject of the photo.

I was forced to spend an extra night....... But maybe that wasn’t a bad thing after all. :)

Hopefully we won’t have TOO many more photo-ops to suffer through with these two! I’ll bet the Lame Stream Media gets REAL QUIET come End-O-November, 2010.

Just a hunch I have... :)
