Stolen Plane From Canada Chased by F-16's

[Shamus]

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.

You would have to really work on your short field take offs.

It also buys time for the authorities to think about what they'll do next too!

He said "I wanted to be shot down."   

If I was a terrorist testing American airspace I would say the same thing. Slap on the wrist maybe a few years locked up but fed and not shot. Just saying...

[Banshee7]

He should have started to turn with them . Maybe he coulda "pulled the brakes" and they would "fly right by!".

you and I strangely think alike

[StokesAk]

So the F16's didn't outrun him and make him pull over?

[klingan]

Perk the F16

he should have went noe

[Denholm]

So his thievery means we have to pay for his meals?

Not only his meals, consider the cost involved with flying those jets after him. Also there are the follow on costs of trying to prevent further occurrences and the procedures that were, and still are being followed because of his stupidity.

two pickers vs one slow plane?

That sounds like the bishops alright 



But on serious tone, I am glad no one end up getting hurt or worse.

[Dadsguns]

It boils down to this,,, this is just a pre cursor to a Canadian invasion of the United States. I hope Obama declares war.

1 cessna is the pre cussor to the 1 buldozer and the 2 toyota tundras they plan to take accross in an innvasion bid

[Treize69]

Whats the cost of a couple of 20mm rounds vs. the cost of feeding and housing this guy for the next decade?

Just saying...

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.

He could have just as easily nosed his plane into the ground.

I call BS!!  He was trying to pull a D.B. Cooper!!
