HAMPTON, Va. (AP) -- Langley Air Force Base will ground its jets next week.The Air Force says the service's Air Combat Command has ordered all jet fighters and bombers to remain grounded so airmen can review safety procedures and protocol.
Langley is home to three fighter squadrons, which fly the F-15 Eagle and F-22A Raptor.
Yes, we're aware of the Langley jets. They're the ones that, for some strange reason, weren't scrambled when the 9/11 planes were in the skies. I guess they'll be doing an anniversary thing, won't they?
This grounding is in reaction to the jet that flew from North Dakota to Louisiana loaded with nuclear warheads. Sure, that makes sense. WTF?
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
