[MilCom] "SAINTS CAP is Up" - Summary

[Shawn Levy, USMC S-2]

CAESAR Flt of two were released by OAKGROVE, and RTB at Navy New Orleans 16:00 local. CAESAR 21 headed back fast since he took no fuel to beat two CAJUN A-10s in, one of which had a jammed GAU 30mm gun and called an IFE. May have been coming back from Ft Polk's ranges.
 
CAESAR 22 stayed in the pattern until the runway was reopened and CAJUN 77 was off.
 
As far as I can tell, no other a/c took their place. I'm thinking this may have been a practice CAP. I didn't see any NOTAMs for this area today, but there are some for east Texas tomorrow. SAINTS is the name normally for local CAPs, BIG EASY used now and then.
 
If anyone knows more about what this was, please let me know.
