Airport expected to reopen in sections. Student in custody and is being questioned.
They stuck "Orlando" in the airport name a few years ago which we locals find confusing, but this is Melbourne Florida in Brevard County on Florida's Space Coast. Florida Institute of Technology runs a flight school out of that airport.

Is this the same airport that had the union protest yesterday? If so, wonder if this is related?

News 13 (cable) update:
"The airport's public information officer told Spectrum News 13 that a student pilot breached security and boarded a plane that was there for maintenance."
Eyeing little towns with bad intent?

Years ago I did an Army Reserve summer camp at what was then Camp Drum,NY which isn't far from the town (city?) of Watertown.In or near Watertown is "Watertown International Airport".Presumably the word international is included because it's about 10 miles from the Canadian border.
LOL

We picked up the International designation when they got a Canadian airline to add a route. There are also flights to the Caribbean so they put in a customs area.

I heard about this on network radio news. I did not hear the word “pilot.” Did I just miss it? Student PILOT is a lot different than Student. I thought maybe it was a new code word for who knows what.

More stuff on Trinidad...
Chagoury is a Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire and a Clinton Foundation donor, giving somewhere between $1 million and $5 million. The construction magnate has financial interests around the world and was convicted in Switzerland in 2000 for money laundering. He paid $66 million in a plea deal. The emails also show Clintons closest aide, Abedin, left her bosss daily schedule in an unlocked hotel room in Trinidad and Tobago, where the secretary of state was attending a conference.
