All they needed was some psyops bird playing "Ride of the Valkyrie." Smells like... Victory!

Thanks for the report.
Guys like you with people reporting out from the inside have to keep getting this stuff out. It is important to hear these stories. |

I also found it interesting that the Customs/BP P-3 Orions are flying as airborne air traffic control for the entire area.

Again interesting...
It is not winding down as much as network TV is implying... I talked to my bud this evening and he said that tody a ATF Agent in Charge called saying he had some guys taking fire in a outer NO neighborhood and were for all purposes pinned down. They launched a Blackhawk with a small group of Aviation Enforcement Officers and headed out. They inserted the team and then spotted three armed men run into a house a block or so over. The AEO team helped the ATF team bracket the building and shots were fired. They made entry arresting all three. Recovered was a stash of looted property and weapons. It was believed that one of the men was responsible for numerous instances of shooting at helicopters. Otherwise they have been flying supplies here and there, moving officers and agents here and there and AN AMMO DROP TO ONE OF THE NOPD DISTRICTS during the first days. Crazy stuff! He said NO reeks to the point of retching even from inside a heli! He says he can not even begin to wrap his mind around the level of destruction in that area. |

Naw, I like the black and gold. BTW it reads "Protecting the Homeland."
No shit. My bud gets mad just thinking about the ambiguity in the role but be assured, they do scoop up piles of them but it is still a finger in a dike. Yep, that is the new paint scheme. Only on a very few birds from what I've heard. Many growing pains to put it mildly. |

US Customs and Border Protection have a fleet of 8 P-3B AEW aircraft and 8 "Slick" P-3B aircraft.
"The Customs P-3 aircraft has long been an effective tool against illegal narcotics trafficking, and since Sept.11 it also has been providing surveillance support for our nation's homeland-security efforts," said David J. Posek, President of Lockheed Martin Aircraft & Logistics Centers. "Lockheed Martin is proud to continue its role in this very important program." During the last 18 years, Lockheed Martin has modified eight Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft and eight Slicks for Customs, the last of which was delivered in February 2002. The Customs P-3 AEW aircraft are P-3Bs that have 24-ft. radomes that are mounted on top of the fuselage and house a variant of the Navy's E-2C "Hawkeye" APS-145 radar antenna. These aircraft primarily are used for long-range surveillance and drug interdiction, with their primary mission being to detect, identify, classify and track aircraft and maritime surface craft. The P-3Bs have a 4,400 naut. mi. range and can stay aloft for up to 14 hr., compared to twin-engine commercial aircraft that typically have to add bladder fuel cells to meet the required range and time-on-station requirements. These fuel cells and their associated weight can substantially decrease an aircraft's mission system payload capability, as well as restrict the weight-and-balance ranges of the aircraft. |

One of the other threads has a link to a video. The video has some of the footage from the forced evacuations. In the same video, but a different segment it has some footage of the BP SRT and BORTAC guys with the NOLA PD in some kind of armed stand off. It also showed they got a stolen car with some dope and guns. |

RTFP. Yes I am sure the gangbangers they popped did not want their guns confiscated!  He said they have not been advised to do any forced removals or confications and doubts they will. He says it seems that there is no real unified decision on those topics. |

If you look on a map I live about an inch off the NW-SE runway at the Hammond airport.
Big homeland security re-do after 911. 1st Cav is out there. I have been told that 1st district in NO was fending off armed and shooting scum bags yesterday from a cop in Covington. There will be no forced evacs from NO. |

Not in this thread. In others. I've passed no judgement on your friend because he sounds like a good guy and I've no evidence to the contrary. |

OK but then by a free man posting that in this thread it seemed safe to assume that he was now "rooting for" someone other than my friend and the other LEOs in this thread and saying "sorry." You agreed. |

I find it a little interesting that you think your friends and other LEOs interests are directly contrary to those of the homeowners. Perhaps you don't think they are on the same side?

The point is that there are no "homeowners" listed in this thread unless you assume the thugs referred to own jack shit, especially a home and even if they do then yes, those in this thread have a very distinct conflict of interests with these and any other LEO and no they certainly are not on the same side... I find it interesting that you agreed with a quick "amen" out of reflex even when a free man's post is totally out of place. What "home owners" is he referring to? Must be ones he sees in this thread cause this is the thread he posted in, eh? He just wanted to get in a jab and you hoped onboard. Believe me, if you are NOT "rooting for" my friend and his peer's mission then you don't care about ANY "home owners" in New Orleans.
