As it relates to the stolen Canadian C-172 incident earlier this week, this article mentions the intercept training the ANG does with CAP and perhaps goes some way in showing more of our potential value.

Rogue flight put state Guard pilots' training to use

Quote"When you hear the words 'Real World' coming over the loudspeaker, there's going to be a little more adrenaline flowing than there would be if it were practice," Lt. Col. Bruce Fischer, commander of the air sovereignty alert with the 115th Fighter Wing in Madison told the Green Bay Press-Gazette on Tuesday.

"We train for this kind of thing all the time. We do regular exercises using Civil Air Patrol Cessnas pretending to be guys like this gentleman."

The Wisconsin Air National Guard flies the F-16 fighter jet. They have escorted Cessnas into Green Bay in training exercises, Fischer said.

Nice recognition from the commander of a fighter wing.  :) :clap:
"For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I was monitoring 121.5 Monday night and I actually heard the fighters commanding the Cessna thief.  I missed the first part of the transmission but caught "...acknowledge this transmission, you have been intercepted!".

If the Wisconsin Guard had been doing mock intercept training with the Wisconsin wing the stolen 172 would have been a familiar mission.

Too bad they didn't let them do a little gunnery on him.
"And Saint Attila raised the Holy Hand Grenade up on high saying, "Oh Lord, Bless us this Holy Hand Grenade, and with it smash our enemies to tiny bits. And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and stoats, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and lima bean-"

" Skip a bit, brother."

"And then the Lord spake, saying: "First, shalt thou take out the holy pin. Then shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. "Three" shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. "Four" shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two, execpting that thou then goest on to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade to-wards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuffit. Amen."

Um yeah... the WIANG does do mock intercept training with WIWG, and it was a familiar mission.  ::)

Which is why he's getting a court ordered mental evaluation.

We should have obliged him and saved a lot of JP4 exhaust blown into the atmosphere.
