I'm sure this will not be a matter to be resolved by fighter jets. This is a regular commercial jet and if asked to land by air traffic control, it will land instead of going rogue. So as long as it stays off actual US airspace, it should be fine.
- iaskwhy 13y agoI wasn't implying they would shot his plane. I could imagine the USAF "asking" the pilot to land on the airbase but I don't think any of these things will happen to him.
- ibejoeb 13y agoThe captain is not going to comply with such a request. An unscheduled landing is, if not illegal in a relevant jurisdiction, at least unnecessarily risky.
- foobarqux 13y agoIt has happened before. I think one of the original digital cash (e-gold, digicash) executives was arrested this way but I can't find the story now.
