Nice work overnight in Texas by FBI HRT guys out of Quantico.. Interesting article on them.
Questions remain about what this guy was doing in the US in the first place and where did he get the guns.

FBI Hostage Rescue Team Is Law Enforcement Equivalent of Delta Force (businessinsider.com)

OT we have talked about SanFran radio before. Someone got nice pic of their California antenna site.

Thenewarea51 on Twitter: "Being a radio antenna 🤓, I have a hard time not taking pics of radio antenna sites I fly over. This one is a HF receiver site located near Half Moon Bay, CA for ARINC’s “SAN FRANCISCO RADIO”. The site is used to help aircraft over the Pacific Ocean communicate with ATC @starree https://t.co/RiKHKVwlbx" / Twitter

I guess that picture was taken after a good rain......compared to this one - plus KFS WebSDR site ?? Interesting no log periodic antennas I could find at the ARINC site.

NOBLE air to air freqs active today were --

263.2 from 0653 - 10:41 local
226.75 from 10:41 - 14:04 local
267.5 from 10:17 - 14:11 local

I must be missing a freq, anyone have the freq in use after 14:11 until the end of the CAP?
Playing tape from near end of CAP as I was out but had SLAM-1 at 1655 flight of 2 making ready to rtb Barnes.
Was thinking maybe they filled in the last hour of the CAP as Alert fighters?
Maybe released NOBLE's early due to wx and SLAM's filled in? Was wondering why tanker bailed at 4:15 local yet I
went outside to walk dog at 4:45pm and clearly could hear fighters overhead.
1701 local SLAM-1,2 ready to RTB with ZDC ready at FL230.

Looks like wx divert from normal Manassas home base. Circled down that way West of HEF before onto PHL.
N708JH Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware
Just wanted to say that they circled near KLUA which is Luray Airport strip. Cool looking 3k runway strip carved on top of
hilltop in Shenendoah Valley area not far from town of Luray.Small Cessna type only but i thought what a cool looking scary hilltop runway
to drop into if I was flying.. Course if you go long on that runway a big see ya later dropoff.Drove down there back in the late 80's for Company weekend golf vacation. Nice town with nice folks but had Blue laws back then as L stores and everything else closed at 5pm Saturday even in Summer so sort of a dry County town. Nice town golf course though :)
