275.80:  PEAK-11, flight of 2, (F-16, Buckley), scramble. A real Keystone 
Cops scenario on this one. First they got held on the runway until the powers 
that be could figure out if it was really a scramble. Then they got stopped in 
mid takeoff roll because Denver had traffic off the end of Buckley's runway. By 
the time they finally got airborne, their target had landed at DIA. Spent the 
next 1/2 hour cursing and grumbling around the skies to burn off enough fuel 
to land. They were super PO'd. Working BIGFOOT on 271.00 and unknown on 296.70.

121.00:  BALL-51, (T-6A, Vance), land.
