.. . The RAAF came close "came close" to sending a fully armed fighter jet Which didn't even take off. to shoot down a light plane during last year's Commonwealth Heads Of Government Meeting. From WLM.............which wouldn't have got there in time to do squat. The light plane was detected flying towards restricted air space around the conference venue. Air Commodore Dave Pietsch said a fully armed F/A-18 Hornet fighter was prepared to intercept the aircraft and commanders had full authority to order the Hornet to shoot it down. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/...050611557.html -- The Raven http://www.80scartoons.co.uk/batfinkquote.mp3 ** President of the ozemail.* and uunet.* NG's ** since August 15th 2000.
