98. Uh, we have a new invention called "radar"

turning the transponder off doesn't make the plane invisible to radar. If that was the case the ruskies could invade us by air. You don't think it odd that almost all of the defense force of the eastern seaboard was off on a "drill"? And yes, intercepting planes with in flight emergencies is EXACTLY what is supposed to happen.

"It should be reiterated that procedures also require controllers to immediately alert the military to scramble fighter craft, if a plane deviates from its flight path and communication between the plane and controllers is blocked. This occurs whether or not the situation consists of a potential hijacking, as was the case with Payne Stuart’s Lear jet, which was intercepted by military planes almost immediately, and while communication with the jet was blocked.

"Officials from the North American Aerospace Defense Command at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs coordinated emergency flights to monitor the Learjet's flight.
The first sign of trouble came at 10:08 a.m. EDT, as Air Force Staff Sgt. James Hicks sat in his air-control tower. A clearly troubled Federal Aviation Administration worker was issuing a distress call for a Learjet not far away.

The twin-engine craft had left Orlando, Fla., less than hour earlier and things had turned very strange. The jet was flying erratically. The pilot did not answer radio transmissions. Could Hicks, from his post at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., send a F-16 to check it out?

Hicks didn't know U.S. Open champion Stewart and at least four others were on board. Neither did Capt. Chris Hamilton, who was immediately pulled off maneuvers over the Gulf of Mexico and ordered to give chase.

The end came four hours, six states and 1,400 miles later when a chartered jet nose-dived into a South Dakota field.

Hamilton had to stop for fuel, so it took 50 minutes to close the Learjet's 100-mile lead. And once the Air Force pilot got a clear look at the smaller craft, his heart dropped.

"It's a very helpless feeling to pull up alongside another aircraft and realize the people inside ... are unconscious or in some other way incapacitated," he said.
The windows had iced over and Hamilton could see nothing.
