Stolen Plane From Canada Chased by F-16's
« on: April 07, 2009, 11:18:59 AM »
It seems some Canadian stole a single prop plane in Canada and flew it across the U.S border, 2 F-16's were scrambled to intercept, they chased him through Wisconsin, Illinois, & then into Missouri were he finally landed on a road and then took off running, state troopers caught him at a near by convenient store, here's a video about it.

Just a test to see how easily it could be done perhaps?

That's my first thought also.  You would think, after 911....  He's intercepted over a big, empty lake.  BOOM!!

All I can figure. with the "no hostile intent" thing, is they were going to let him start diving into something in before they took any action.  Apparently there is nothing to threaten between Canada and Missouri.

"Hey, Pete, you see those f-16's on our 6?"
*shakes wings a bit to try and get a vis, mistaken as aknowledging the f-16s*
"Nah, George, we're still in the clear."
"I woulda sworn I saw somethin..."

Couple of f-16s pull up behind me when I'm flyin a cessena I'm making sure I'm doing what I'm told...

He was from Canada. I'm sure he didn't even  know Wisconsin had a State Capital building. :rolleyes:  ABC's virtual viewer graphics were wicked. Muhaaa.(sarcasm) I know shouldn't joke, kid out for a joyride. Remembers back few years ago in Florida. Kid rammed a credit union building or something. The Cessna lost that collision big time.

Read the latest updates guys, this wasn't some kid out for a joyride. He was trying to commit suicide and wanted the F-16s to fire.

"Suicide by Cop" seems to be getting much to popular lately.

This was a definitely better outcome than taking a gun somewhere, shooting a bunch of innocent people, then killing your self.

Smart move if I was a Criminal. Rob a bank, And fly into another country. I mean, The Cops can't pull you over...Helicopters don't have the range and what are the fighter jets going to do? Shoot you down? You Have a right to court so no. It would buy you some time to think about what you are going to do next.

moron news reporters complaining they didn't shoot him down, if they did every freak in the world would be all over the US and the military over this.
