Andrew Silva
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “SAN BERNARDINO - U.S. fighter jets were scrambled to escort a Boeing 727 on Monday afternoon after the commercial aircraft failed to maintain proper communication, authorities said.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “”It was determined there was no threat to security,” said Norm Brewer, spokesman for the federal Transportation Security Administration.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The plane was on its way from Duluth, Minn., he said.

People who work at the airport wondered why fighter jets were buzzing overhead.

It was not clear why the white Boeing 727 with Associated Air Cargo painted on its side was on its way to San Bernardino.”
