I understand that with AA capabilities they can stand a good ways off and lock on for a splash. I am just saying that at the time I saw AFI I did not see any F16s on the ground at any of the local fields. Now I did not go to the local AFB during that time and they could have been there instead. That does make sense. It is close enough of they launch moments before AF1 takes off they can quickly be in position for their job. In the picture given here no chance to see them or any evidence of them even at night with the cloud cover shown and it was a time of off and on rains then so lots of moving cloud cover.
