[Mod note: Title and story changed at link--Western military charter plane lands in Iran]
We have commercial aircraft instead of Military aircraft report. Wonder where we are headed? This can be used any number of ways for a setup.
WASHINGTON — An American military charter plane flying through Iranian airspace landed unexpectedly in Iran on Friday, but the Obama administration said it was a bureaucratic or mechanical problem that should be settled soon and not a larger political incident between two countries with a history of hostility.
“This is nothing to get alarmed over,” said an administration official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss a delicate diplomatic situation. “This is a bureaucratic problem with the flight plan, and it’s going to be resolved shortly. This is not a political statement.”
Link has changed since I posted it, thanks!
Actually the article header changed as well.
“flight plan error”
Are you kidding me .. our military can’t even file a correct flight plan .. I’m not buying that ..!!!!
Zactly.
Hope this means they will be safe while fueling up for a return. How frigging embarrassing.
“Old flight plan”. Sheesh.
Metinks Obala really slashed military personnel.
Reduced to hand compasses, or what!
Wonder how we are going to verify iran’s information if aircraft released? No peace of mind .... Heads Up! Get a flight plan! then watch
It appears that they are trying to alter the narrative somewhat.
I hope someone grabbed a screencap before they flushed it.
See OEB’s post for the opening line of the new narrative.

“Landed unexpectedly”.
Well .. he better hurry .. the reports are coming in saying the terrorists are planning to cause a disruption on the border.
Are you sure it’s the terrorists ...??????
My question is, it landed. Who or what got off, and who or what got on?
Heck, with the slashed, shrunken and reduced military, they have in charge now college kids, like Laverne and Shirley spokes”girls”, and wouldn’t know the difference between a plan and a path.
And there lies the meat of it.
Where are those people now, and what is happening.
if they release the plane, we’ll be scrambled twice today. Better yet ... go ahead SCAMBLE
The events of the past three months is like a carefully scripted plan.
With pResident Zero at the wheel, that would be “Scarmable”.
Thanks for the link. I got the impression State did not like the question this AM. Still scrambling for cover up of MAJOR
S T U P I D I T Y.
“Landed unexpectedly”
LOL and shaking my head.
Considering we shot down Iran Air Flight 655 by accident, we’re lucky they didn’t take the opportunity to shoot our plane down.
Harf choked, looked like they were smacked with a lead bat at the question.
Almost as if they didn’t expect anyone to know about it.
Yeah, you like how they put that line up?
Reminds me of “Due to irresponsible video”.
Excellent catch! Great question! Satellite help is needed and that isn’t a face reader capability yet.
