...while state TV said it belonged to a European aid agency.

This seems more likely than FARS' report that it was a US military aircraft. Interesting that FARS and the State-owned media have differing versions.

So it is the Falcon passenger jet which is definitely not a warplane and can carry passengers? Did it replace the small jets used by general officers and others in the Air Force to fly around the Country. I know we had some at Materiel Command at Wright-Patt in the 70’s.

P-3 forced down by China where the guys in the back threw all the equipment into the ocean as the pilot stalled.

Here's a picture of the plane in question, a Dassault Falcon.

More images from the category Dassault Falcon 20E.

Obviously not a warplane, more like a corporate jet. Probably recon.

On the one hand, the Falcon entered from Turkey FLYING AT LOW ALTITUDE TO AVOID RADAR.... but on the other hand, they group was allowed to leave after it was realized THEY HAD ENTERED UNINTENTIONALLY...

Huh?

Akin to saying they did it deliberately, but by mistake.

Alot of us did, but I’m glad we swallowed Rove’s koolaide instead of getting Kerry. And I’m glad McCain didn’t win in 2000 because we wouldn’t have a snowballs chance in hell against Obama without Palin. And I don’t know anyone else who would have the nerve to pick her as Veep.

So it worked out IMO.

Thanks! Nothing else made sense.

“Interesting that FARS and the State-owned media have differing versions.”

While FARS may be listed as a ‘private’ news agency, it obviously wouldn’t exist if it didn’t toe the line, and make clear that it’s stated purpose is to support & further the Revolution, so it’s no different from the ‘official’ news agency. (just sounds nice that it’s “privately” owned - yuk yuk.)

Our military routinely fly between Turkey and Afghanistan and Turkmenistan over the Caspian Sea . NW Iran lies within that direct flight. Our aircraft normally stay well to the north, flying through Georgian and Azerbaijani air space on well known (by Iranians) corridors.

Apparently a military chartered Guardian found itself sufficiently off course into Iran that it was better to land and explain than to possibly be pursued by Iranian Air Force.

We have previously established a protocal with the Iranians, as we do with many countries we overfly, to land and explain if our aircraft have to deviate from well known flight plans.

In a nutshell, that there has been a lot of tension building in the “collective unconscious” that would be released on October 7, 2008. They claim that the impact of this release would be larger than 9/11. Go read urbansurvival.com for more details, but be prepared for a large “woo-woo” and Bush-hating factor.

I know; I was just interested in how different FARS’ version was from the State TV version because FARS is the regime’s beeyatch.

...flying at low altitude to avoid radar. ... Passengers included five senior American generals and three civilians

I call BS. An airplane "flying low to avoid radar" would not be hauling "five senior American generals".

Any airplane hauling "five American Generals" would fly at normal altitudes and routes.

My son served two tours as a Weapons Director in Iraq, essentially a controller who handled both military and civillian traffic in Iraq.

That type of airplane was flown on designated airways from Turkey, and was tracked by radar and must be in radio contact with controllers in both Turkey and Iraq.

They were given an ID code before leaving Turkey and if they were not squawking that code, they were sent back.

It is impossible that one became lost or was not flying an assigned route and altitude in addition to the ID code.

and...I’d like to add.......having differing stories serves 2 purposes :
1) makes FARS look like an independent entity
2) makes confusion for people, and that is always a desirable state for the regime
