Aero-News Quote of the Day

"He was never under arrest and is free to go. No further action will be taken."

Source: London Police spokesman on a Moroccan terror suspect who somehow got on board British Airways Flight 175 from Heathrow to JFK Wednesday night. The man's name was on the US no-fly list, having been added in December, according to authorities. But for some reason, it appears officials at Heathrow didn't have the latest list. The US wanted to divert the aircraft to Bangor, ME. BA, however, elected to send the Boeing 747 with 239 passengers on board back to London.
