FILE - The Pentagon is seen from Air Force One as it flies over Washington, March 2, 2022. A wayward and unresponsive business jet that flew over the nation's capital Sunday afternoon, June 4, 2023, caused the military to scramble a fighter plane before the jet crashed in Virginia, officials said. The fighter jet caused a loud sonic boom that was heard across the capital region.
It was not immediately clear why the plane was nonresponsive, why it crashed or how many people were on board. The plane that crashed was registered to Encore Motors of Melbourne Inc. A woman who identified herself as Barbara Rumpel, who is listed as the president of Encore Motors of Melbourne, said she had no comment Sunday when reached by a reporter for The Associated Press.
