the poster said "I will never believe that they couldn't scramble jets with at least 50 minutes notice. Never."
So I wonder what his/her background is that he/she knows so much about how the USAF deploys its aircraft. I have no idea if they keep fully armed aircraft sitting at the end of a runway with the engine running all the time, or whether they'd have to spend a couple of hours preparing and arming a jet or anything in between, so I'm just wondering how the poster knows that 50 minutes is an unreasonably long time.
