CHICAGO (AP) — A 75-year-old woman whose plane strayed into restricted airspace during a presidential visit says she assumed the fighter pilots who intercepted her just wanted a closer look at her antique aircraft.
Myrtle Rose told The Associated Press she didn't know she had crossed into a restricted area by flying within 30 miles of O'Hare Airport on Wednesday evening. At the time, Barack Obama was in Chicago for a fundraiser marking his 50th birthday.
After she landed her 1941 Piper J-3 Cub on her property in suburban South Barrington, friends told her about the situation. Rose says she's filed a report with the Federal Aviation Administration explaining her mistake.
