24 B-1's and B-52 bombers were just sent to Guam as a message to N. Korea's Pyongyang. I think they said that 'escort' fighter craft are also to be sent.

The North Koreans are desperately trying to keep the spotlight on them. :roll:

In retaliation for the MiG Fighter locking on to our Recon aircraft, we should have launched 2 Fighters to lock on him. :evil:

The Koreans according to the pilots of the recon plane carried themselves professionally and made no agreesive manouvers and accepted the lock-on as a way to communicate that they were too close for the N. Korean's liking.

Indeed, but perhaps it was a tad too unneccessary for this time, considering our gov'ts political situation with each other.
If it was a US Fighter that was locked on to, I could understand the N. Koreans point of view....
But, it was just a Recon plane.

But, it was just a Recon plane.WHat if the lock was a way to warn when language wasn't an option? I think that had they done that to a fighter, the outcome would have been completely different. I understand why (most likely why) they locked on to a recon.

Nevertheless, I still find it unacceptable. Considering Kim's words as of lately, I don't think he needs his pilots getting jumpy.
And considering America's situation in Iraq, Afghanistan, and everywhere else in the world right now, I don't think this si the time to be testing America's military personnel.
It may have been legal, but it just looks like bad judgement to me. :?
