I wonder why he's still "enjoy[ing] political, intellectual, social, education, spiritual and religious dialogue."

Shouldn't this thug be dead by now?

CBS said this plane was flying for 4 hours around Philadelphia, Atlantic City and circling the nuclear power plant. Planes had to be diverted from the airport. They said no fighters were scrambled during this whole incident. I can't believe that!! If it's true, someone was asleep at the switch. They also said the pilot was drunk.
The newspaper report makes it seem like a simple occurrence but CBS was more thorough. (note: I rarely watch CBS just happened to have it on for local news and network news came on)

Plane Diverted From Philadelphia Int'l
Fri Jan 16,12:19 AM ET Add U.S. National



PHILADELPHIA - A small plane was diverted to a suburban airstrip Thursday night after it entered controlled airspace near the Philadelphia International Airport, authorities said.



A police helicopter escorted the single-engine plane to the Pottstown-Limerick Airport, about 35 miles northwest of Philadelphia, according to city and state police.


Philadelphia airport spokesman Mark Pesce declined to comment, referring all questions to the Federal Aviation Administration (news - web sites).


FAA spokesman Jim Peters said the plane was flying erratically and had been tracked for over three hours before being forced down around 10:20 p.m.


The pilot entered controlled airspace without permission, Peters said.


The pilot, who was not identified, was questioned and detained by police in Limerick, Peters said.


The pilot will be given a ticket from the FAA for violating the airspace around the Philadelphia airport without permission, Peters said. That could lead to a fine and his pilot's license being suspended or revoked.


The plane was registered to a Pottstown-area contractor, J. Vincent Concrete Contractors, but a woman who answered the telephone at the business declined to comment Thursday night.

Odd little profile, isn't it...was waiting for him to say he enjoyed "romantic walks on the beach!"
