KNIFE71 11-0061 AE540D may well of landed on range twice, can't be sure.

With all that's happened US wise today (F-15E's bombing from 9/10,000ft this morning) and terms I heard (for example "Sparkle" - target illumination by IR?), that JTAC/FAC were operating on the range today.

Knife 71 still active on range. 20.10z.
