Jetliner Lust Attracts F-16s
By JOHN MARZULLI and BILL HUTCHINSON
Daily News Staff Writers
randy, drug-fueled romp in a New York-bound jet's rest room sparked a
midair terror scare that sent a pair of F-16 fighter jets scrambling,
authorities revealed yesterday.
But the red alert aboard American Airlines Flight 101 from London on
Friday gave way to red faces when authorities discovered all the fuss
was over two amorous British men.
Police said the passengers, whose names were not released, admitted
smoking crack cocaine and having sex in the cramped rest room.
The miles-high ordeal began about 8:15 a.m. Friday on the London-to-
New York flight, said an American Airlines spokeswoman.
Flight attendants complained to the pilot that the two men were acting suspiciously,
making four or five trips to the rest room together.
"A captain had requested that the local authorities meet the two passengers at the
gate at Kennedy," said airline spokeswoman Sonja Whitemon.

Air Force officials overheard the captain's radio dispatch to American Airlines
operations and sent two F-16s to intercept the jetliner over the Atlantic Ocean, said
Federal Aviation Administration officials.
Whitemon insisted the airplane's crew did not ask for the military escort.
"The captain requested that that not happen because he didn't believe the situation
was that serious, but it happened anyway," Whitemon said.
The two passengers were asleep when the plane touched down at JFK and were escorted
off by Port Authority, Customs and FAA agents.
No drugs were found on the men, who were not charged with any crimes.
Immigration officials denied them entry into the country because they
admitted smoking crack in the rest room, law enforcement officials
said.
The men were put back on a plane bound for London later Friday,
officials said.

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe
simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not
believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do
not believe in anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not
believe in anything merely on the authority of Teachers, elders or wise men.
Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it
agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all.
Then accept it and live up to it."
