Private Plane intercepted over restricted air space near nuclear reactor Tossing out 15 bags of White powder Arrested for Drug smuggling

 

Here in the U.S. we are used to the Coast Guard intercepting drug smugglers in waters off our coasts
Any attempt to in outrun a shot across the bow makes them potential toast
Or helicopters quickly join the chase
A stream of automatic bullets from above should end the race
But in France in the war on drugs a new twist we were treated to
A private plane probably not knowing where he flew
Entered a nuclear power plant’s surrounding restricted air space
A Rafale fighter jet was scrambled led and to the unknown intruder raced
The private plane pilot opened the cockpit and 15 bags started tossing out
With a stall speed on the Rafale of 80 knot and a private plane 30- 50 mph to avoid stall warning shout
Would have been a test of flying skill to fly loops round and round
To force the plane fearful of being shot at to the ground
To be arrested for suspected drug smuggling awaiting analysis of the white powder in the bags found
If heroin or cocaine added to the flight over restricted air space to the jail term he would be bound
