'Pilot Took Off Running After Landing Plane'
(Turkish born. . .third paragraph discloses his name)
A pilot who allegedly stole a Cessna plane from a Canadian flight school and was pursued for hours across the Midwest by fighter jets, was taken into custody after he landed on a Missouri highway late today and took off running, an FBI spokesman said.
[. . .]
A college official told a local newspaper that it was believed the pilot was not a student at the school. [. . .]
"Apparently, somebody jumped over the fence and just jumped into an aircraft," Judi Maundrell, the college's vice president of academics and student services, told the Thunder Bay News Source. "It was sitting as usual parked on the ramp. They keys are in all the aircrafts because students are using them." link/a>

Exactly! Had they shot it down that would be the last time a ROP POS muslim tried it!
And they stopped him????? Oh great!
Clearly a probe to detect what would be the response. Next could be multiple entries from Canada in a simultaneous strike hoping one or two make it undetected. I would suggest that had he not been seen in Canada he may well have entered undetected.
Yes; no 'virgin visitations' that day; but hey; next time, for sure. . .
We have a leadership that 'demands' N. Korea be punished for launching a missile. Would offer that our Leaderhip should be punished for allowing it to happen.
Why did that one life in a stolen Cessna; clearly in threatening mode; become more important that the security of hundreds - if not thousands here in America?
When does the security of America; our citizens begin to matter? (Which job did Obama really sign on for as President? Creating; and inviting America-destroying crisis; so that he can insure the greatest control? If we are targeted successfully; would this crisis 'insure' maximum opportunity for the Left's ultimate control?
What does Obama think of the Islamic flag; flying over our White House? Does is matter or not?)
As it is it will cost more to deal with the SOB than the jets scramble ever did.
I heard the AP news this morning saying that he “allegedly” flew the airplane. The media are all POS.
I'll bet not!
Was there anything in the news about Glorious Leader taking a call on his red bag phone during this chase. Wouldn’t that be something... Dear Leader gives the go ahead to shoot down a Turkish nutcase over the US while meeting with officials in Turkey...
Third paragraph reveals his name, which used to be Adam and now is a Muslim name. Born in Turkey. Finally, the details that make this make sense.
Plus, he did NOT contact the F-16s when they came after him.
I’d say this is mighty suspicious.
Am sure 'Dear Leader' was apprised of the situation. And we can rest assured - not, of course - that Obama would never shoot down a target that threatened American citizens.
Those currently in service? I wouldn't bet against it.
However ... the Viper also has a 20mm gun. Just the thing for taking out a slow moving threat.
