Local civic leaders, airport managers and elected officials in the greater Orlando and Cape Canaveral areas received a visual reminder (above) that the Continental U.S. NORAD Region is supporting STS-116 Space Shuttle launch operations beginning Dec. 1. In addition to increased air defense deterrence missions CONR fighters will be making low approaches at Orlando Executive, Orlando Sanford International, Daytona Beach International, and Melbourne International Airports, on December 5. The missions are carefully planned and closely controlled to ensure public safety, and are not in response to any specific threat. (U.S. Air Force illustration/Mike Strickler)
