[Scan-DC] camp david

All:

   There are no Harriers based at Camp David.  I was monitoring this
incident Saturday nite, but didn't put it out over any net due to my concern
for "security" issues, since I didn't know exactly what "they" had up there.
I do know, tho, that those Harriers buzzed pretty low (from traffic at one
point they were at 1000 feet) as I heard them come right over my house.  (I
don't live too far from David).

   I know from my own USMC Air Wing experience what a Harrier sounds like,
they were def. Harriers.  But, I don't know why they weren't assigned a call
sign.  Huntress was talking to them direct, as "Harrier 01 and Harrier 02".

   Again, my apologies for not putting this out over the net right away, but
I chose to "err" on the side of caution at the time.  Had I known they were
looking for stray hunters and not something else, rest assured, it would
have been out on the airwaves.

  Jason
