Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Plane causes White House alert A small private plane which flew into restricted air space around the White House caused a major security alert. Two F-15 fighter planes were scrambled from Andrews Air Force Base near Washington to intercept the plane after it appeared late on Monday morning. It came within 16 kilometres (10 miles) of the presidential residence before it was escorted away, officials said. According to a defence official, the incident appears to have been caused by simple pilot terror(sic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
