Ben Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Cessna 150 shot down" 05-28-01, 13:00z  ____________________ I just received this from AvWeb: "A Lebanese-registered Cessna 150 flown by Stefan Nikolian, 43, a Lebanese student pilot, entered Israeli airspace Thursday and was shot down. Nikolian was not authorized to fly solo and, after being intercepted by Israeli military aircraft, he reportedly did not respond to their attempts to contact him by radio and hand signals. Roughly 15 minutes after the Israeli pilots made visual contact, an Israeli military helicopter shot the Cessna down. Lebanese authorities stated that Nikolian took off without authorization, but also said that the Israeli military "forced him to head south" and enter Israel's airspace." File this one under "ouch." Hmm, I wonder if we could recreate this by importing FS2K planes into CFS2... Ben Top
