I heard Crab and NASA. They were Evacs from Hurricane relief? Did they drop off people at MTC I wonder? Ohh I am sure they were refueling at MTC. Oh and just to let ya know I just heard Reach 9512 Heavy talking to MTC on 119.600. I wonder where that is from, and I wonder if that is the one that just flew over my house a couple of hours ago.... Cool stuff.

Good catch!

NORAD scrambled two jets to escort a Frontier Airlines flight to Detroit Sunday after two or three passengers were observed behaving suspiciously, officials said. It is believed it had something to do with the mile high club. Police found nothing on board, but they arrested the individuals three involved.
