> In the late 2200 hour (EDT) there may have been a live scramble
> by two F-16s
> (css Snake) from the 119th FS NJ ANG at Atlantic City.
>
> Snake 01 flight was noted checking in with Huntress (228.9) and
> authenticating his communications.  The flight leader then asked
> Huntress for
> the bogey dope and passed the target course and altitude to his
> wingman. Both
> aircraft were noted on their A-A freq (138.425) exchanging target
> information. After a few minutes, the wingman notified the flight
> leader that
> he had acquired the target on his radar.
>
> The last I heard of this activity, the flight leader notified
> Huntress that
> he was slowing down and descending, presumably to visually acquire the
> target.
