(Hungarian Aid ) Plane forced to land in Iran

[tomnbeverly]

US WARPLANE FORCED TO LAND IN IRAN.

[epow]

Why does our military buy French executive transport planes when American companies build very similar planes?

[TomGuy]

FoxNews Amy Kellog....

No reports of US military planes.

May have been non-military.

Plane has already left for Afghanistan. Reports was Falcon. 3 crew and 5 passengers.

[Rick.Donaldson]

FOX just reported “NOT US MILITARY PEOPLE”

[mcshot]

Isn’t that to cover up the “born on” date?
:-)

[Last Dakotan]

Nah. Bush will handle this the way he did when the Chicoms our bankers captured one of our planes.

Fixed.

If it’s true, I think the Iranians realized they did an oops. It would certainly give us a pretext for military action agains the terrorist regime.

[Army Air Corps]

That’s a “warplane?” War sure has changed since I was in. LOL!

Well, we know how well press weenies pay attention to detail. :-) To them, any military aircraft is a "warplane" much the same way that any semi-automatic rifle is an "assault rifle."

[penelopesire]

Just heard it pronounced: ‘Farse News Agency’....lol. Is that correct?

[Dallas59]

8 people in a Falcon? Lol...BS Iranian news story.

[Coldwater Creek]

They have had that option in the past, who knows now!

[autumnraine]

It’s actually kind of funny how the left attributed everything to Rove. Even the stupid stuff Kerry did and said, they blamed on Rove. It’s kind of a running joke, anytime something ridiculous happens, it’s “Rove, you magnificent bastard”’s fault. I hope I punctuated that correctly, LOL!

[Rick.Donaldson]

Yep, I saw that banner and it’s what *I* posted elsewhere (on another site that follows this sort of thing closely).

So, now I have posted about 8 more messages CORRECTING Fox’s mistake. lol

[Straight Vermonter]

They said the plane was a falcon which is French.

[Coldwater Creek]

This is not your daddy’s military. Not knocking our troops.

"I’ll be the first to say it, good for McCain."

No. Ahmanutjob wants Obama, so he'll invite him to Iran to "rescue" the pilot, roll the red carpet, find some American flags to wave, praise Obama effusively, and send him on his way in cordial solidarity, and Obama will say "See? Face-to-face talks can be very successful!"

[dools007]

I think if it was an F-16 fighter there would have been pictures of it on CNN by now.

Yesterday, this aircraft was on route from Turkey to Afghanistan and strayed into Iranian airspace.

HU-25 “Guardian” Medium Range Surveillance Aircraft
Manufacturer: Dassault FalconJet,
Wing Span: 54’
Length: 56’
Max Gross Weight: 32,000 lbs
Number of engines: 2
Propulsion Type: Garrett ATF3-6-2C Turbofan

Five military personnel were on board as passengers along with a civilian crew of three. After recognizing the aircraft was over Iranian airspace, the pilot requested clearance to land in Iran and was escorted by Iranian air force fighters, rather than attempting to leave. The aircraft was cleared for release and continued on to Afghanistan after the crew was questioned for several hours.

[ETL]

Wow. Not much detail in that Fox story, was there.

Not yet. But they will certainly update it when more info comes in. When I posted the link I assumed they had more info.

[Coldwater Creek]

Do you remember that Navy surveillance plane that was forced down a few years ago?
