The Little Arrow That Could
Minding my own business flying back from Indiana on guard when I hear a radio call up:
"N5357K, south bend approach on guard, acknowledge"
Then again...
Then I'm at 5500 headed to MI just cruising and the radio is silent for a minute... and then the most commanding voice I think I've ever heard on the radio says:
"YOU ARE BEING INTERCEPTED BY THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE, ROCK YOUR WINGS TO ACKNOWLEDGE" (along with another command I can't remember).
The radio tx was so freaking clear that I thought they were right next to ME! I instinctively looked out my windows thinking somehow I missed a TFR by South bend...
No turns out it's some guy flying across lake Michigan flew into the RNC TFR. Never heard him respond but it looks like despite being hailed on every approach channel, on guard and then by the USAF he continued on towards OSH...
