The plane flew past Mpls., over Madison, WI where two Air Guard F-16s were dispatched to it and they followed it to Detroit, where a 2nd pair of F-16s took over and followed it all the way to Kentucky where the plane suddenly lost altitude and crashed in a remote field, apparently when the fuel was exhausted. Pretty sad...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
