I'm amazed that in today's paranoid environment that the airliner
wan't intercepted prior to landing. Surely, the base radar could see
where they were going. I'm surprised that they were allowed to land,
especially seeing that they were told to pull the shades and don't
peek. I don't know what it is they weren't supposed to see, but they
clearly didn't want an uninvited civilian airplane on their property.
If we can't perform an intercept where the planes actually are, how
are we going to scramble and go get them somewhere else?
