The Air Guard can't give exact details, but those F-15's can go from ignition to flying over Seattle in "about 15 minutes on a bad day". -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 5, 11:30 4
- some guy in a float plane didn't get the memo that Obama was visiting, no fly zone, they scrambled 2 with after burners on *BOOM BOOM* - zeitgeist Apr 5, 11:36 3
  - I wouldn't be surprised. The Air Guard pilots out here don't eff around in the slightest. - ReluctantCynic Apr 5, 11:39 2
    - They really don't. Hearing a pair of F-15s on afterburner is an amazing thing. The noise and vibration is startling. - Mel Profit Apr 5, 11:44 1
      - we get the ballet of super cargo planes, usually 3 at a time circling and doing touch and goes, every few months we get a few f15s from OR - zeitgeist Apr 5, 11:57
