Yes!! -- F-16s respond to flight near Mexican border in Arizona
From the AJC:
The North American Aerospace Defense Command says two F-16 fighter planes intercepted an ultralight aircraft near the U.S.-Mexico border in southwestern Arizona.
The plane crossed from Mexico into Arizona just after 6 a.m. Sunday. NORAD dispatched two F-16s from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson and they shadowed the ultralight for about 30 minutes until it flew back into Mexico.
Ultralight aircraft are sometimes used to carry drugs and other contraband across the border.
