I work at Boeing in Long Beach and they were F-16's about ~11:15 AM.

The C-17 was held on runway 30' for 20 minutes of so. It looked like a test flight because it returned a couple hours later. My office is right next to the runway. Fun place to work..:)

Yeah, to intercept a Cessna wandering into restricted airspace due to the Prez visit to OC. Too bad the Cessna pilot was also running drugs. Ooops! :p

NORAD intercepts drug plane in restricted airspace - CNN.com

Read here.

Confirmed this morning at LA Times.

FWIW - George Sr. came to a Painesville, Ohio school in 94 and the twin rotor helicopters were practicing their landings at the school's football field the weekend prior. Was actually awesome to stand at the fence and watch them.

Cool in the NORAD link the Secret Service just handed them over saying we ain't got time for these guys. Roughly in-line with the IRS not caring if you are running booze and women - just cough up your taxes, please.

It's not the SS's job. They handed the bad guy over to local LEO. Do we want the IRS to manage our booze & women activities?

All he had to do was fly over Compton to get rid of the evidence.
