It wasn't me!

Unfortunately, I grounded at my desk today.....

"Forced down" is a liberal use of language.....Most likely, a controllers request for a diversion to a airfield and fighters were in the area..... "Forced down" implies that there was no willful compliance by the pilot to Center's (or Departure's) commands....I doubt that....

If anyone has seen tv coverage that might include a pic, could you see the FAA tail code on the small plane?

If the pilot was just taking a little VFR cruise, he wouldn't have to file a flight plan at all, would he?
