The Bust
 
So who's RV-6 busted the TFR near the game yesterday? :eek:
I'd like to hear about the intercept.! :confused:

32 nm radius on that TFR, 0-18,000 ft. I don't get it, but there are a lot of things I don't understand.

Don't know about a 6 but I watched a C-150 get intercepted and guided to my airport.

There were 4 planes. That was one of them. Always wondered how an F16 intercepts a 150....?

My -7 was within the TFR, but was flying very low, given that it was missing a finishing kit and the recommended high value items north of the firewall. It did a few rolls, tho, while fitting the fuel lines. ;-)

Couldn't see the intercept. I was in a hangar when I heard somebody stroking in and out of AB so I stepped outside to see what was going on. The jet was making circles around the target driving it towards the airport.
Shortly after I heard AB again and they were pushing something up higher away towards Sacramento/Stockton.

Question, what is AB?
