Callsigns: Huntress
                Brave 1 & 2 (F-16s 121st FS DC ANG, Andrews)

In the late 1000 hour EDT Huntress vectored Brave 1 &2  towards a fast moving 
target climbing at an altitude of 14,000 ft. Brave 1 asked Huntress for 
verfification of their mission which Huntress stated was to close on the target and 
id by tail number and type.

Brave 1 & 2 both closed on the target at an altitude o 15,500 ft which was 
id'd as a Citation N750WM. Once Brave was able to determine that the target was 
talking with Washington Center (ZDC), Huntress called off the intercept and 
asked Brave flight to the hold position over Baltimore and go into Guard Dog 
(unidentified) mode.

Once the Braves (working with ZDC) reported they were in Guard Dog position 
they tested their VHF secure voice modes, then went into their normal CAP 
patterns.
