SEATTLE -- F-15 fighter jets scrambled from Portland to deal with an unknown aircraft that had entered restricted air space over Western Washington caused two sonic booms that were heard across a wide swath of the region, the FAA reported Tuesday.
Several calls from worried residents from Olympia to Seattle flooded emergency dispatchers and the KOMO Newsroom reporting two distinct explosions that rattled windows and shook homes.
The FAA had restricted a large area to aircraft over Seattle due to President Obama's visit.
A spokesman with the Oregon Air National Guard said two F-15s from their 142nd Fighter Wing were scrambled on a "real world mission" from their base at Portland International Airport but could not elaborate on what the mission entailed.
Read an article in the LA Times. Obama’s fund raising visit there this week caused massive traffic jams as a huge number of streets were closed off for hours.
Flight restrictions effectively stopped all general aviation aircraft from flying in the Los Angeles area during all of Obama’s visit.

Citizens of Seattle are being instructed to use the self-tazing collars that were distributed by the Secret Service last week. Anyone who has lost their collar or who finds that it doesn’t immobilize them quickly enough is go to the nearest street corner and wait for law enforcement. They are to stand in groups, as close together as possible. No rubber-soled shoes are allowed.
“Citizens of Seattle are being instructed to use the self-tazing collars...”
I have one for you and it has six levels of shock!
