minimum fuel and Colorado Springs is on flight hold for microburst activity. ((Been 
like that all afternoon. One acft gets in OK and then the WX closes back down 
again and forces the next guy to divert))

neither a KC-135 nor a B-2 could land at Centennial due to weight 
restrictions; so don't know what this guy is up to or who he was))
