FAA Fines Seaboard World Overfault Navigation Gear
The FAA levied a 5000 fine on Seaboard World Airlines for faulty navigation gear on a Douglas DC8-63F charter flight with 214 troops bound for Vietnam. The jet was intercepted by Soviet MiG fighters and forced to land on Iturup Island after radar and Doppler sensor failures and an untrained first officer. The crew and passengers were detained two days before continuing. Captain Tosolini said he did not violate Soviet air space and accepted a lower admission to secure release.
