Wayward small plane over Washington causes military jets to scramble
- Thread starter THE_DEVIL
- Start date
For those confused by a Cessna’s apparently causing a sonic boom, it was the F-16’s scrambled to engage the plane that did it.
Bummer. I was hoping a Cessna could create a sonic boom. That would be fun.
John Rumpel told The New York Times that his daughter, a 2-year-old granddaughter and her nanny were onboard the plane. He told the Times that the family was returning home to East Hampton, New York, after a four-day trip to his home in North Carolina.
On her Facebook profile, Barbara Rumpel commented, “My family is gone, my daughter and granddaughter,” on an unrelated post in which others were asking if she was on the plane.
