FAA Fines Sea World Airlines Over 1950s-Style Forced Landing

The agency cited radar failures and training lapses including a first officer lacking required training and an unauthorized radar check. The jet was held for two days on Sturup Island north of Japan after Soviet fighters forced it down. The note about milk production appears unrelated to the incident.
