(AFP) – 14 hours ago


LOS ANGELES — Two F-16 fighters were scrambled Thursday to intercept a light aircraft over Los Angeles, during a visit by President Barack Obama for a fundraising trip, officials said.

The military jets scrambled out of March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County, California, "to respond to a temporary flight restriction violation by a Cessna 182 aircraft over Los Angeles," said a NORAD statement.
"After intercepting the aircraft, the F-16s followed it until it landed without incident at approximately 12:30 pm MST, where the plane was met by local law enforcement," said the North American Aerospace Defense Command.

Heaven forbid a Cessna single prop attack O-blah-blah.

Is it just me? Or is this shit getting old? Now you can't fly your unobtrusive, unarmed plane anywhere near his eminence? Like the f*ing Air Force is going to do anything anyway. If I was after someone I'd send Navy or Marine F-18s. They actually know how to kick some ass below 30,000 feet.
