Were they unguided RPG type missiles or guided such as Redeye / Stinger / Grail?

The HercBird is more nimble in the air than you might think.
Not an F16 as to roll rate, but it is a military acft, not a civie. It will toss the passengers around if needed.

How odd that it was not the plane carrying Couric and Clinton.

Given who was on the plane (3 US Senators and 1 US Congressman), one of their offices might have leaked the iternary, which might have jeopardized all of their lives -- including the US Servicemen flying the plane.
I would not be surprised if there was a leak in one of the offices of these politicians...

Just taking a wild-*ss guess here: Maybe because Shelby and Cramer represent Alabama, and the story's from the
Birmingham News's "Everything Alabama" online site?
(The other senators were Jim "voice-of-sanity-on-the-illegal-invasion" Imhofe of Oklahoma, and Mel "gives-me-mixed-feelings-about-the-rockets" Martinez of Florida.)

Alabama boys. Shelby is a converted Democrat, ostensibly conservative and, IMHO a total POS. The north congressional district can do better than Cramer. I hope Senator Sessions was not on that plane. He is the true patriot and conservative.

Just target practice for firing on Katie Couric’s plane...small price to pay to get rid of Commie Couric.

Shelby is a national treasure, in my opinion. Pretty big news.
