I guess this answers the question. Callsign FAT22. No need for look-down, shoot-down here. I guess theoretically there's a requirement to intercept and ID drug-runners.
(There's also a video of a C-17 on 'you tube' making 3 passes.

I didn't see in the procedural controls where you could 'pop up' and come back around for another go at it.)
This reminds me of the old LAAT circuits.
