F-16s Escort Flight After Onboard Fight
June 1, 2011
Fighter jets escorted a United Airlines plane back to Washington's Dulles Airport after a fight broke out between a two passengers on the flight bound for Ghana, officials said on Tuesday.
Police met the two passengers at the gate when flight 990 landed back at Dulles early Monday morning, but neither passenger was injured and they were not arrested, said airport spokesman Rob Yingling.
The two F-16 fighter jets were dispatched from Andrews Air Force Base after the pilot reported the disturbance, said US Navy Lieutenant Commander William Lewis.
They shadowed the flight all the way back to Dulles, where it landed safely, Lewis said. "They were just following typical procedures when you have disturbances. It's pretty commonplace whenever there's an airspace violation," he said.
It was unclear how many passengers were aboard the United flight, which took off from Washington late on Sunday night, and what arrangements were made for them to reach their destination.
