[BurbankKarl]

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

Do you think this is SOP?

[Dont Mention the War]

This is just the new SOP, right?

[Petronski]

MAJOR BUMP

[nwrep]

Are the F-16s airborne yet? I can just see the looks on the faces of the poor passangers when they see who is flanking them. The French passangers will stage an immediate surrender dance.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Why?

SOB?

(Santa on board?)

[Old Sarge]

Weapons Tight, guys! But just to be sure, do a close pass and let 'em see the war shots under your wings!

[demlosers]

Who report this fox, cnn... ?

[TomGuy]

Other than general interest, is there a reason for listening to NORAD? Is something going on with the French airliner? Are the F-16's to intercept?

[Petronski]

No media yet, I'd guess. (Can one be sure this is even a 'story' yet?)

[HairOfTheDog]

Are you just reporting this because you heard something on a scanner or is this being reported by the news.

[Pro-Bush]

BUMP!

[zarf]

What about Michael Jackson?

[LibKill]

Keep us informed. Another FR scoop?

[nwrep]

BUMP

[Petronski]

Shoot him down.

[Alouette]

Do you think this is SOP?

For Air France, probably.

[Dog]

What the hell??

[demlosers]

No media yet, I'd guess. (Can one be sure this is even a 'story' yet?)

A possible news scoop?
