Small Plane Crashes near 1st MEF...

Post by MKSheppard »

Up on Fox News:

According to Major Garrett reporting from the Pentagon,
a small aircraft - perhaps a Cessna-type aircraft - has
crashed near the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force.

Originated from Iraq & could be one of these crop-duster
like drones capable of carrying chemical and/or biological agents.

I've heard CNN is now carrying this story and that
it crashed within sight of a Marine...but cannot confirm it
on Live CNN feed, thanks to my mother sleeping down here...

A chemical gas drone? I heard those things were smaller R/C planes though since a Cessna sized craft is far to vulnerable.

It was probably just a defector, or some relatively well-off Iraqi trying to get away.

Gotta go with Vympel, I guess stealing all that money from the Iraqi people dosen't do you any good when you are dead..
Sudden power is apt to be insolent, sudden liberty saucy; that behaves best which has grown gradually.
