We don't need to state that
the sky is blue. I've therefore reverted the removal of the sentences re the exercise being part of the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. In many countries, such exercises take place every week. That this specific exercise was part of them does not, IMHO, need a reference.

Have you actually read the policy you linked to? It says you actually do have to cite that. Not every aircraft interception training exercise is part of the aftermath to 9/11.

Tend to agree with
Mjroots. But highly unlikely one would ever find a public domain source to support this claim? The sky isn't always blue, sometimes it's full of smoke, from burning aircraft.

Well, kind of. Except that looks very different, more like a race, at 2.2 Mach. Was the Concorde without comms? Was it suspected of being a terrorist hijack? Hard to tell from that description.

I haven't found any sources that said these exercises were related to the 9-11 attacks, but I did find several saying this was a routine test of the Quick Reaction Alert squadrons of incursions into Germany airspace by uncommunicative aircraft. I think saying this is in any way related to the 9-11 attacks would be speculation and require citation. --

Do not include - in the unlikely event it was true it adds no value to the article, these training exercises have been going on for years, well before 9/11. For example any aircraft (including civil) flying over the North Sea could use a "codeword" on the radio that gave permission for it to be used as an intercept target and it was regularly done years before 2001.
