The MAXIMs were over Austin (capitol of Texas for those who don't know)
where AF-1 was at the time. Dubya was visiting the EOC there. Now should
be over San Antonio where he will bless the troops at Fort Sam. Probably
overnite in SA and then to capitol of La (Baton Rouge) tomorrow.


Omaha is likely the P-3 off Houston as mentioned in the previous TFR post.

Not likely any AWACS, but the should be a tanker around for the fighters.
