Man Rushes Cockpit - F-22s Escort Flight
2017-05-20
[DailyMail] A man was subdued aboard an American Airlines flight to Honolulu after he tried to break into the cockpit on Friday.

Passengers, American Airlines crew members and an off-duty Honolulu police officer worked together to restrain Anil Uskanil, 25, a Turkish national.

The flight landed safely about 11:35am, escorted by two military fighter jets, and Uskanil was detained.
The American media articles did not know the name or nationality of the "foreign national"

#2  I know some people of Turkish extraction. They are civil, nice, and fun to be around. Probably Gulenists
