The Oregon Air National Guard’s 142nd Fighter Wing will hosted a three-day Aerospace Control Alert CrossTell live-fly training exercise, July 24-26, 2018, alongside aircrews and associated support personnel from across the Continental U.S. North American Aerospace Defense Command Region’s air defense enterprise.

Representatives from Air National Guard fighter wings, U.S. Coast Guard rotary-wing air intercept units, and Civil Air Patrol conducted daily live-fly sorties to hone their skills with tactical level air intercept procedures.

During the exercise, Air National Guard F-15 and F-16 fighter aircraft and U.S. Coast Guard MH-65 helicopters conducted intercept operations of Civil Air Patrol C-182 aircraft.
The training scenarios replicated airborne intercepts of aircraft that fly into airspace the Federal Aviation Administration has established as “temporarily flight restricted airspace.”
