Just Witnessed Possible CAP Flight Intercept

I dunno. Sounds like the end of the world to me. I better stock up the old bomb shelter with plenty of cheese and wine.

[Lazamataz]

If we hear about a forced landing later, then FR will have its crown as the Breaking News forum, what with 50,000 or more pairs of eyes all over this land, watching, watching, watching....

[be-baw]

and a CAP is what? Civilian Air Patrol?

[Dog Gone]

If you're inside the Beltway, you're not a normal American and we can't trust your observations. Sorry.

[Cyber Liberty]

Sounds like a plan. Hold on while I go fetch my scope.

[eniapmot]

CAP doesn't fly interceptors. Maybe Guard.

[Cyber Liberty]

Crazy Armed Pilots.

[Uncle Fud]

Well, it could be the Citizens' Auxiliary Police, but I'd be on Combat Air Patrol

[dts32041]

are you referring to civil air patrol or a combat air patrol

[Azzurri]

The folks on that airliner are probably hoping they don't put a CAP in the plane's you know what.

[Churchillspirit]

Some brie and a nice tawny port.

[psalm37]

Combat Air Patrol. Our President used the term recently in a press conference.

[Cagey]

I was outside and noticed three aircraft flying South. I'm inside the Beltway....

Now, I'm confused.

[coloradan]

With 49,950 of those pairs of eyes glued to a computer screen!

[ctonious]

You will soon be visited by sinister men in black who will very slowly but forcefully insist that what you saw was a flock of geese heading south.

[aculeus]

Some Friday night drunk caused a problem.

CAP is costing us big bucks but it's worth it.

[DainBramage]

Maybe they were running an escort with a VIP Military plane.

Hey now! This untrustworthy person voted for Ronald Reagan at the age of 18, while still in High School! I never have been a DIMwit, and generally disagree with modern Libertariansines.

[Lazamataz]

Sounds like a plan. Hold on while I go fetch my scope.

Your breath isn't that bad..... ;^)
