He failed to mention, however, that the Oregon Civil Air Patrol is also involved by providing low flying Cessna 182 "target" aircraft just as the 311th tactical airlift squadron is providing high flying C-21 Lear jet "target" aircraft. Both "target" scenarios are important to the success of this training program. Mr. Sclair wrote a very nice and informative article on this important air defense training exercise.
