Jet Fighters Pursue Cessna Stolen by Flight Student
Plane Could Be Shot Down If It Is Deemed a Threat
By PIERRE THOMAS and LUIS MARTINEZ
WASHINGTON, April 6, 2009
Over the skies of the Midwest, two F-16 fighter jets are escorting a private Cessna 172 aircraft stolen from a flight school in Ontario, Canada, whose pilot has been unresponsive to multiple requests that he establish communications with ground controllers.
A Customs and Border Protection aircraft was also closely monitoring the Cessna.
The plane entered American airspace over Michigan's Upper Peninsula at 3:25 p.m. today and has been trailed by the military aircraft since 4:43 p.m. as it has flown over Minnesota, south through Wisconsin, Illinois and Missouri.
The aircraft went past St. Louis flew south over eastern Missouri towards Arkansas. At one point, the Wisconsin state capitol building in Madison was evacuated as a precaution as the plane flew over the city.
Confederation College in Thunder Bay, Ontario, confirmed to ABC News that one of its aircraft was stolen today and flown out of Thunder Bay International Airport at 2:55 p.m.
In a statement released later today, the college said it was working with local police "to recover the airplane and identify the individual flying the airplane."
Details are scarce as to the identity of the pilot, but NORAD spokesman Michael Kucharek said the pilot is a student at the flight school and that his motives are unknown.
The F-16 pilots have made visual contact with the pilot and "know that the person that's flying the aircraft knows that the [F-16] aircraft are there, [he] is unresponsive to their non-verbal directions and is not in contact with the FAA controllers," Kucharek said.
FAA officials also said the Cessna's pilot has not responded to their repeated efforts to hail him on all radio frequencies.
When asked if the fighter jets might have to shoot down the aircraft if it shows hostile intent, Kucharek told ABC News that could happen.
"NORAD pilots, once authorized by higher authority, are authorized to use everything within their power to protect U.S. citizens, up to and including lethal force," he said.
I guess he didn't answer because he didn't know how?
Fly? Yes! Land? No!
Hand signals in the arab world are diferent than here.
Why not flip him, the way the RAF used to do to V-1s with Gloster Meteors?
I'm surprised and impressed with the Cesna's range.

Wouldn't that risk him flying into a house or something? Much better to just Sidewinder his ass. Plus it looks cool.

He landed by a road, walked to a country store in some hick town in Missourah, bought a Gatorade, and waited to be arrested. :huh:
Well, Mathias Rust he is not.

QuoteELLSINORE, Mo., April 7 (UPI) -- A man suspected of stealing an airplane from a flight school in Canada has been arrested in Missouri after landing the plane on a highway, authorities said.
The pilot -- identified as Yavuz Burke -- is accused of taking off Monday from Confederation College in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and leading fighter jets on a chase across the U.S. Midwest, ABC News reported.
The FBI said Burke took off on foot about 9:50 p.m. EDT Monday after landing a Cessna 172 on U.S. Highway 60 in Ellsinore, Mo. but was taken into custody a short time later by Missouri State Highway Patrol officers.
Burke was formerly known as Adam Leon, FBI spokesman Rich Kolko said. He is a 31-year-old naturalized Canadian citizen who was born in Turkey.
Two F-16 fighters began to escort the Cessna after it crossed into U.S. airspace from Canada at 4:23 EDT over Michigan's Upper Peninsula, ABC said. As the pilot flew over Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Missouri, he ignored repeated requests that he contact air controllers on the ground.
ABC said Canadian officials told U.S. officials Burke had been treated Friday for depression, and that he left a good-bye note for his girlfriend.
OMG OTTOMONS :osama:
Brave Turkish-born Canadians are daily flying into American airspace defying strongly-worded letters and anti-aircraft cabbages thrown to defect from the evil socialist Canadian Parliament.

Well, I guess you know you're going to have a bad day when you have air force fighters flying alongside, keeping tabs on you. <_<
Be interesting to find out what this guy's reasons were.
My guess: he's crazy. :)

Nah, probably depressed (as one of those articles says).
Or he may have recently moved to Kentucky or something, and wanted some action. I'm surprised that Caliga or Prinsesca haven't absconded with a Cessna and flown to Canada or something, or back to the people's republic of Massachusetts. ;)
If I stole a Cessna I'd be flying toward the tropics. ^_^

He was looking for some Kurd's house to fly into.
So, I was right. The guy was muslim.
He might have been depressed or whatever you call that weakness of character, but he was clearly inspired by the 9/11 terrorists. Maybe he even dreamnt of becoming a martyr like them, as the good-bye letter might inply, but found out that he just didn't have what it takes, namely, a deep believe in muslim heaven and its 72 virgins.
And of course, it goes without saying that he hates America. Not a healthy thing to do.

Its more likely that he is a pawn of the Mossad trying to stir up anti-Moslem sentiment in the liberal and tolerant US.

if that's the case, obviously, you are fighting the wrong war, and should invade Thunder Bay immediately.

Since you are unable or unwilling to leave your house, how do you feel qualified to make Missouri vs. Kentucky comparisons? Having been to both, they are quite similar IMO.
