I didn’t know Hillary had a pilot’s license.
The fighter plane then released flares
Ruh roh. That is not something I would want to see while piloting a private aircraft.
He’s got some splainin to do, I watched a guy takeoff from WHP during a TFR, he got 100 miles before they made contact and then he was escorted back and allowed to sit in his plane without moving or getting out until the Feds showed up 2 hours Later.
I live just east of Nashville, very near the path that AF-1 would take from Andrews to Nashville for the debate when I heard an unusually loud jet nearby (I live close to the Lebanon airport). Turns out the F-16 was circling the airport until a small private plane landed and taxied well off the runway.
I would think those/that protective jet would have already up in the air, watching over the area the prez is in!
I was watching when it happened, POTUS did seem concerned at first, I thought it was planned, evidently not. The protection our POTUS receives is uncanny.
Oh - wow - that is not what the President and the crowd were happy about!
ANTIFA got an air force?
I saw an F-16 chase away a small airplane at a GWB rally in Florida some years ago. The plane got pretty close really. One thing I noticed was how hard it was for the F-16 to go slow enough to stay behind, even with full flaps and landing gear deployed. I read that the pilot lost his license for a while for violating a temporary no-fly zone.
The F-16 already has more than enough armament to convince a pilot to put his plane in reverse and back out of the restricted air space.
...emergency flares...
Ah, journalists. Ever uninformed.
Is the president sheltered by shields when he is on stage? Not that they would protect over him, unless he was in a bubble.
Could it be Harrison Ford trying to fly again ?
