Authorities secure the entrance to Mine Bank Trail, an access point to the rescue operation along the Blue Ridge Parkway where a Cessna Citation crashed over mountainous terrain near Montebello, Va., Sunday, June 4, 2023.The unresponsive plane, a Cessna 560 Citation V, traveled at 34,000 feet through restricted airspace before crashing in a mountainous area of southwest Virginia at approximately 3:30 p.m. local time.
“The actual standards [for scrambling jets] are classified, but there is a good bit of judgement involved,” retired Marine Col. Stephen Ganyard said on “Good Morning America” on Monday. It appeared that military officials decided not to shoot the Cessna down because the plane was maintaining a constant high altitude and heading, meaning it wasn’t seen as a threat, Ganyard said.
In this file photo, the sign for Joint Base Andrews is seen on March 26, 2021, at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland.
