F-16s shadow airliner near New Jersey airspace
Military officials dispute claims that two F-16 pilots tailed a Nations Air charter jet near Atlantic City. The Boeing 727 carrying 77 passengers and seven crew landed safely at JFK after alarms sounded and near-collision radar indicated merging tracks. Authorities investigate while Nations Air questions the pilots’ conduct. The National Guard says pilots were on a professional training mission checking an unidentified aircraft, not endangering the airliner.
