Rockinbar: Indeed the F-15's were summoned from an air base just east of Portland, Oregon and were immediately authorized to fly at supersonic speed to the incident!
They arrived on scene in 7 minutes!
That is a "fer piece" from 10 miles east of Portland to just north of Tacoma, Washington - I am guessing 125 air miles?
Anyone have better info on air mile distance - please inform me.
I would be interested.
Thank God no innocents were injured/killed.
Hold into the wind
