767 intercept

[MikeD]

Audio from RNAF F-16s intercepting a Delta 767 from Istanbul to New York on 10 August. Apparently, the 76 hadn't contacted the next sector ATC yet, and the Vipers were scrambled to take a look.

I would like to hear them explain that to the Chief Pilot.

I wonder what the passengers were thinking when they see a fighter aircraft on their wing.

"Uh daddy, whats that?"

It was the FO's fault as nearly as I can tell. Both of them.

That's why, before any configuration change, you look up at the CVR mike and clearly state, 'Sir, I'm uncomfortable with this!" just to be sure.
