Fighters shadowing jet in New Jersey airspace denies play
Military officials denied that two F-16 pilots were toying with Nations Air Flight 727 over restricted airspace off Atlantic City. The pilots, on a training mission, approached the jet closely enough to trigger collision alarms three times but were reported to have acted professionally. The Nations Air liner landed safely at Kennedy Airport with 77 passengers and seven crew. The FAA and military investigate amid mixed explanations from Nations Air and National Guard officials.
