Excellent point.....whether it was an old DA20 or a newer Dassault, they are not used to transport aid workers........either way, few, IF ANY, corporate type aircraft are without FMS (flight management systems) incorporating GPS (often dual), as well as INS......Oh wait, maybe it was bought on Ebay!!!!

Okay, that article is bogus:



They show this picture:



With caption:



That is not a fighter aircraft.
Sounds like Iran's trying to act big and tough again. Someone didn't give them their "baba".

It amazing how the MSM takes a statement from a foreign nation and runs with it. No fact-checking, not checking with any other sources.

What is more amazing is that people actually fell for it. It's just sad that the MSM controls how we think. Look at Global Warming, or better yet look at Obama. The MSM has too much influence on public opinion. I guess it's so easy to control the masses.

Ummm...im sure if an unidentified airplane flew into US airspace the first reaction would be: Oh my God-its an Iranian plane!!!!

Ive been it Iran before....and yes after having visiting my opinion remains. The place sucks and the leadership is worse. The women (the few i saw anyway) acted as if they were second class citizens.

I'd bet the news agency just stuck in the first smallish plane picture they could find in their files.
Common practice these days to use not too appropriate stock photos.

Yes, a good point.

It would hardly be the first time one country has been using a non-military plane for spying when it would be just as happy to provoke a war as to get more close-ups to use to provoke a war.

well they just said it wasnt american on al-jazeera so its OK ppl

How is a Falcon Jet, a medium range executive commuter, a "warplane", or a "fighter"?

It is a civilian aircraft, even though some countries use them as Government Executive transports, or VIP commuters...

Misguiding post...

Where did anyone get the idea that this was a WARPLANE?

There were military contractors on board along with civilians, there was more than enough room for 10+ people, it WAS NOT a Military "warplane/jet". It was en-route to another location and was off course for a very short period of time before it was told to land by Iran.

I mean honestly, wtf? why does everyone blow this out of proportion and say "ZOMG Iran/US are going to fight now because of this!!!"

Sure, there is a 'chance' that USA wanted that plane to be shot down(if you want to believe all the conspiracies that have been completely false such as this whole "October 7th is going to have a monumental event!!!") but it was CLEARLY non-threatening to Iran otherwise they would have shot it down, it was a passenger plane, "de derp de der!"

Iran is not the evil country everyone makes it out to be. In fact most of the people feel that America is generally good, MOST of them, not all of course, but this has declined over the past 30 years as relations have become a bit more aggravated by the restrictions we force on them.

EVEN people in Iran watch the Daily Show and Love John Stewart. There are so many people over there that would rather have our way of life its not even funny.

So please, for the love of (insert your god name here), STOP spamming all this stuff about what happens between Iran and USA as if its going to start WW3. Your all getting way out of hand with this stuff lately, its saddening

Um, they are not acting, they are second class citizens, thats how the muslim world see's their woman, second to men and they are forced to cover up, shut up, and do as their told. Thats why you felt they "acted as if they were second class citizens". Sure the leadership is bad, and the place sucks because its not what your used to, but try to understand a country/culture that is not your own before you talk

Well if you had bothered to read the thread of the people you're yelling at, then you would already have that answer many times over

We were told by the media sources it WAS a 'US warplane', we were initially commenting on that news. Then later when we discovered the truth we adjusted our positions accordingly.

I would have expected better from a Tool fan!

edition.cnn.com...



just adding this link related to the topic.

Thats what i know. And knowing that, i still think it sucks over there. Never been to a more depressing place really. I feel bad for the Iranian people, their leadership-not so much. Country run by imbociles and its obvious the first moment you step off the plane. So yes, the place still SUCKS!

LOL, I think it is a little more understandable that a US jet could stray into Iran by accident, since we are fighting a war right next door. For the Iranians to invade North American airspace it would have to be intentional. If they were having problems they would have plenty of time to radio ahead and ask for an escort. I guess we should just let an enemy nation cross into our airspace. Would that make us better world citizens if we let someone attack us?

My country isn't poor, isn't rich, but at least we have style, when we're sending Humanitarian aid to someone. Why would we scare the people with military crafts? So, it's not fishy at all. The Hungarian Air Force and the Hungarian Government sometimes using private jets, such as the CIA is doing. Just while the CIA is running black ops, we're sending aid and personnel with these sort of crafts. And unlike the unmarked CIA jets, at least our crafts has a tail number.

And to the newcomers, whose didn't read the previous responses. This craft was a Hungarian Humanitarian craft. There was a typo in the flight plan regarding the tail number and that caused the problem. Mystery solved. Hurray.

Currently Iranian army is doing operations along with the Turkish army inside the northwestern borders of Iran with Turkey against Kurdish rebels.
Commercial aviation flights from Turkey are being conducted normally near this area of Iran since Turkey although aiding the Americans against Iraq hold nothing against Iran currently since they have mutual agreements conducting military operations together. I also believe agreements might exist with neighboring Armenia too if I am not mistaken.

Although It could be expected that Iran would have been alarmed if a non scheduled Turkish or international flight would continue straight without a flight plan all the way inside Iran. A possible corridor I suspect would pass near Tehran, the Iranian capital. Although a straight line from Turkey to Afghanistan passes through Iran's Tehran, it might be that for security reasons and primarily because of fears of a possible Israely sabotage, Turkey and Iran might have agreed that commercial flights heading to neighboring countries also ravaged by the ongoing operations for "Freedom" from our beloved Global Cops that is US, to not overfly from key strategic points.

Recent headlines to the news revealed that Israel staged an exercise over the country of Cyprus, and in Greek airspace over the island of Rhodes and the island of Crete in southeastern mediteranean in order to practise and develop a plan on how to counter the antibalistic/antiaircraft S-300 game changer that Iran is acquiring from Russia. It is estimated that the primary Israely target which is in Iran and is none other than their nuclear powered electrical factory, is at the same distance from certain target sites in Crete where Greek airforce has a similar s-300 system supposedly operational that according to the rumors in this exercise was used as a simulation target for the Israeli airforce effective plan creation for an attack on the Iranian nuclear powered electricity producing facilities.

The "Hungarian" or (insert any nation) airplane, if was seen as an uncharted flight coming from Turkey and heading to Iran, in a possibly flight path near or over the Iranian capital Tehran, would certainly alert suspicions and would demand a landing and check from Iranian authorities, which of course is not illegal and complies with international air faring laws. Iranians would probably thought it was an Israeli plane loaded with electronic spy gear to check Anti Air facilities near the outskirts of the Iranian capital, Tehran.

Everything else could be a smoke cloud created by the MSM, because they have their own games to play too.

For our beloved trigger happy global policing sympathizers.
Here is a map educate yourselves.

Yep, just like the USA puts out propaganda about other countries. They all do it to some degree. You pretty much have to take all these type stories with a grain of salt.
