It would not take long for the fighter's to get there from PDX

Yes, but we are talking about what peopl would say, not what is or is not
true.

Well, guys, during the filming of "The Hunted" the filming crew staged a
battle scene next to the Willamette, near the shipyards, and didn't bother
to tell the appropriate people that there would be explosions. Meanwhile,
some guy with a fabric experimental joked with a fueler in Scappoose several
hours earlier that he was going to go fly into a building. (A joke, like
attacking somebody with the Wright Flyer) and, an hour or so after the last
possible moment of endurance for that airplane, the fueler called the
authorities and fighters were scrambled.

The next day, folks in Portland were howling about fighter planes hotrodding
at low altitude up the Willamette. Turns out they were scrambled to chase
down an ultralight. :
