Let's have them do their calibration a little higher up, shall we? Thank you.

It's calibration, I think. Didn't sound like an exercise. I'm grateful they're here for us, but there's no good reason why they couldn't do it a little higher. It's not like air traffic was already cleared.

They were pretty high here inside the Beltway. Little blinking dots in the sky. Not even close to being low altitude.

Still a lot louder than usual for whatever reason.

Moochelle ran out of Ben & Jerry's Sweaty Balls ice cream, and Obama scrambled jets to get more.

Are you sure this was a "calibration"?
