Two F-16 fighters have been dispatched to track a single-engine plane over Wisconsin that is believed to have been stolen in Thunder Bay, Ont., by a student pilot, according to U.S. officials.

The incident caused the state capitol building in Madison, Wis., to be evacuated temporarily as a precaution.

/snip/

Kucharek said the pilot acknowledged seeing the F-16s but did not immediately obey their nonverbal commands to follow them.

He said the plane is not believed to be a terrorist threat.

It's unknown how much fuel is in the plane or how much training the student pilot has acquired.

Well sir, we tracked it right into that stadium full of people.

[ConcernedCanuk]

10. If he's still in the air as I type, then he's been in the air for almost 7 1/2 hours

.

The plane is reported to have fuel for 8 hours

Something is going down (pun intended) REAL SOON

(sigh)

13. Oh, no you don't -- you canuks!

We might be all sociable and civilized down here in Madison, but watch out for Northern WI -- they're fucking nuts up there. They eat people. You don't want to give them a reason!

:rofl:

[ConcernedCanuk]

16. And y'all were concerned about a missile from North Korea?

WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) — A single-engine airplane believed to be stolen from an airport in Canada by a student pilot Monday is reported to have landed in southeastern Missouri after being trailed by two jet fighters from Wisconsin.

Laura Brown of the Federal Aviation Administration said the Cessna 172 landed on a dirt road at Ellsinore, Mo., near Poplar Grove and the pilot ran away.

She said local law enforcement officers are responding.

The pilot hadn't communicated with authorities through the entire flight.

17. Well, I'm glad we got dem Air Guard guys down at Truax to protect us from you guys!

I heard a ton of sirens flying down Willy St this morning -- I wonder if that had something to do with evacuating the Capitol...(I live about 11 blocks away from it).

Hmm...what time would he have been overhead?...

It isn't clear from the article. Hope not.

[ConcernedCanuk]

14. Dunno - unless they shot him, or he shot himself after he landed - I would think not.

But

he's got just a wee bit of 'splainin' to do methinks . .

[CreekDog]

15. He was defecting to escape from the tyrannical metric system!

[crim son]

18. Heh. I have hundreds of relatives in Thunder Bay.

It was probably a cousin.

[ConcernedCanuk]

19. So - have the USA wizards figured this out yet? - We could invade anytime - With Cessnas

.
.

Sure

The USA could retaliate with bombs and bullets

that's really worked out for them so far . . .

seems the only way that the USA can spread it's "democracy" is with genocide

(sigh)
