75-Year Old Woman Tries to Take Out Obama With a Plane

SOUTH BARRINGTON, Ill. (AP) — Two F-16 fighter jets intercepted a plane flown by a 75-year-old woman after it entered restricted airspace during President Barack Obama's recent visit to Chicago, federal officials said Thursday. The North American Aerospace Defense Command told The Daily Herald that the jets were summoned when air traffic controllers couldn't contact the pilot Wednesday afternoon. The president was in Chicago for a fundraiser celebrating his 50th birthday. The jets intercepted the Kitfox Model 2, a kit airplane, piloted by Myrtle Rose of South Barrington, a Chicago suburb. Rose turned the plane around and returned to Mill Rose Farm Airport, NORAD spokesman Lt. Michael Humphreys said. Rose's plane didn't have a radio, which forced NORAD to use the jets to identify and intercept the plane, Humphreys said. With such temporary flight restrictions, "there are no lines drawn in the air. It's sometimes a little hard to tell where you're at," NORAD spokeswoman Stacey Knott told the newspaper. "Typically, it's just a mistake." The pilot met with local authorities, Knott said. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating. Rose didn't appear shaken after the incident, South Barrington Deputy Police Chief Ray Cordell said. "She was unaware that she had entered restricted air space," Cordell said. "Surprised was probably the right term." Calls to a listing for Rose in South Barrington rang unanswered Thursday. The town, home to about 4,500 residents, is about 30 miles northwest of Chicago. "We do not have fighter jets flying over the village very often," Cordell said.

You mean to tell me a 75 year old woman was flying an airplane? I bet it was going like 10 miles per hour and had it's left blinker on for like an hour. Seriously though women can't even drive, neither can old people, and this old turd is flying a plane? Those F-16's should have locked on to that thing and pulled the trigger, then dropped a bomb on the wreckage just for good measure. Of course "she was unaware that she entered restricted air space", old women don't even know when the light turns green don't act surprised about Cordell. Then that dumbass makes an even dumber statement saying that fighter jets don't fly over his village often, like no shit bro the only time I've ever seen a fighter jet fly over me is at the Indy 500 or opening day. Typical dumb shit that can't get a real job because he's half retarded so he joins the police force.
