Pilot would not return radio feedback
LOGANPORT, Monomi--A small plane that did not register a flight plan with the National Aviation Authority (NAA) has safely landed in Monomi after fighter jets escorted it to the ground.
The plane, a small Cessna 206, was flying over western Monomi Wednesday afternoon. Traffic controllers tried to radio the plane from the ground, but the pilot did not respond after numerous attempts at contact.
At 12:39 pm western time, National Security Secretary Michelle Gates authorized two F-15 fighter jets from Eilecker Airforce Base in Skyllings to escort the plane to safety on the ground. The planes landed at a municipal airport in the town of Loganport, about 150 miles northeast of Heydworth.
The pilot has been taken in for questioning by Crown Police (CP). There were no other passengers in the aircraft at the time of the incident.
It's unclear why the pilot did not return radio contact to ground controllers. The plane has been seized for evidence and taken to the CP office in Skyllings.
